Following the successful Innova Launch Party which took place in Croydon this past month, Shodement is thrilled to announce a partnership between Inspired Homes  and artist July Jones.

Inspired Homes is a leading micro-apartment developer targeting young professionals who are searching for a new home. The company is highly innovative and takes on a lifestyle-led approach which utilises every inch of space to offer the best-value living in town.

Their latest development Innova (previously Impact House) comprises of 197 one and two bedroom micro apartments with 38 two and three bedroom apartments including four duplex penthouses. There is a communal rooftop terrace and a club lounge for residents.

The launch party for Innova Croydon was attended by more than 200 people who registered for a night of live music from July Jones, Dee Wain, Stitch and a resident DJ. With plenty of drinks, table tennis and a chance to experience inspired’s virtual reality show apartment the night was a phenomenal success!

Following this launch Shodement will be partnering with Inspired Homes to bring you the best entertainment and music at their upcoming launches including our resident artist July Jones described as: ‘A 70’s music sensation with striking looks, the attitude of Scarlett Johansson and the mesmerising presence of Marilyn Monroe all together?! (Hook London)’. She is a 21 year old singer, songwriter and style influencer based in London. Make sure to check out her latest single ‘Solo’.

Jorja Smith is a young British singer from the West Midlands. She has just bagged the Brits Critics Choice Award (2018) and has released her latest single “Let Me Down ft Stormzy”.

Her first ever release was in 2016 on Soundcloud for the track “Blue Lights” which currently has over 3M views and was nominated as Best Song at the 2016 MOBO Awards.

This was followed by single “A Prince” with Maverick Sabre and “Where Did I Go” which was chosen by the one and only Drake as his favourite track.

End of 2016 Jorja officially released her first EP ‘Project 11’ which included 4 tracks. Fast forward to March 2017 , she was featured on two tracks from Drakes album “More Life”.

This was followed by her own single release for the track “Beautiful Little Fools”

By now it must have become pretty clear that Jorja is influenced by artists like Mos Def to Lauryn Hill and The Streets. Her soulful vocal style has been compared to Amy Winehouse, Rihanna, Lauryn Hill and FKA Twigs.

Having now joined the prestigious list of Brit Award winners she told BirminghamLive that “It’s such an honour to have received this award and recognition amongst so much amazing emerging UK Talent. It was also great to to be part of an all-female shortlist alongside Mabel and Stefflon Don.”

Her music is supported by Radio 1, 1Xtra and Beats and she definitely one to watch!

With ambitions to top the charts this young Afrobeat-infused pop star rose to fame with the release of track ‘Bestie’.

At 28 million views its no surprise that the 25 year old is going for it full on! Raised in south London he was influenced by rappers like Wretch 32 and Giggs.

The music video for “Bestie” was released on Yungen’s Vevo channel in June 2017 and was followed by All Night ft. Mr Eazi released October 2017.

Raised by a dad who was moonlighting as a hip hop DJ in a house surrounded by sisters who only listened to R&B, it’s hardly surprising that Yungen feels comfortable shifting between genres. Since his foray into the UK music scene in 2010 via a music video he uploaded on YouTube that turned up on SpiffTv before catching the attention of SBTV’s Jamal Edwards, Yungen has independently released Project Black & Red in 2014, been nominated for a MOBO Award in the category of Best Newcomer and garnered industry-wide credibility for going into a battle against Tottenham MC Chip.

“Sometimes people say I’m a grime MC but I wouldn’t say that: I rap, I do grime, I jump on R&B, I just love music” – Yungen

This should therefore come at no surprise: Yungen has gone PLATINUM!

His journey is all about wowing listeners with his catchy punchlines, real lyrical ability, and his hunger to push his music to all shores of the UK.

Shodement is thrilled to have confirmed The Global 12 Festival, one of the most exciting weekends in the UK music calendar.

It will take place on Saturday September 1st with headliners being announced on March 1st!

Curious to find out what this event has in store? With artists from 12 different countries the 2nd instalment of Global 12 will take place at Cargo London with the option to upgrade the event with additional surprise locations in the heart of Shoreditch.

We promise a variety of interactive activities including terrace party with canapés and fizz; VR experiences across the venue; industry guests and an aquatic theme inspired by winning Art Director Matt Crump.

So who will be performing?  Well, we are thrilled to introduce our first 3 artists:

Jay Way, Galvyn and Bobson!

Jay Way: From the moment Jay-Way entered the Hip Hop scene, everyone noticed that he is different. No average songs about sex, drugs and rock ‘n roll, but conscious lyrics, in which he is spreading his positive message through complex story telling. Being influenced during the short time he lived in New York, his honest, poetic and straight lyrics, speak to an entire new generation, as well as older Hip Hop fans.

Jay-Way is not your average new rapper. His fan base is growing as he keeps rocking the stage with his own shows and festivals with his live band as well as opening up for artists such as KRS-One, Obie Trice and Rejjie Snow.

Jay-Way’s latest project “No Life No WiFi” was released in October 2017. Catch him nowhere else than Global 12 Festival!

For tickets head here!

GALVYN: The Los Angeles-based rapper Gavlyn, has been rapping since 2006. She’s a member of the Movement Organized Threat and Broken Complex Records. Gavlyns music is inspired by Old School, 70s Funk and 60’s music. Yet, despite her devotion to Hip Hop, it’s not her only source of music. Her unique voice, her authentic and direct air, her diverse flows and her exquisite beats make her a real treat and a much wanted artist in the Rap crowd. Her debut album, From the Art was released in October 2012.
