Pot茅, Pierre Kwenders, TSHA and Hel茅na Star discuss what the 'look at me' gene actually is, why music is nothing without dancing, what they鈥檝e learned about themselves through music, and the legacy of what they鈥檇 like to leave behind.

St-Lucia-born artist Pot茅 combines Caribbean percussion, electronic sounds, and emotive songwriting that caught the attention of Damon Albarn, who appeared on his latest album A Tenuous Tale of Her.

Pierre Kwenders is a Congolese-Canadian musician known for dismantling the concept of genre with his indie-Afro-electro sound. He sings in Lingala, French, English, Tshiluba, and Kikongo, and explores themes in his lyrics such as homesickness, tormented farewells, and his love for his homeland and his brothers and sisters.

One of the most exciting producers and DJs in London, TSHA (pronounced Tee-sha) blends house, synth lines, and psychedelic noise, and has remixed the likes of Foals, Prospa, Declan McKenna, and Lianne La Havas.

Hel茅na Star is a regular radio presenter and DJ at some of London鈥檚 finest clubs, playing an eclectic mix of house and techno from around the world.
