Hannigan is a 20 year old singer-songwriter from Kent, who has been playing as a solo artist for about 4 years now. He has been involved in a wide variety of projects in the past which has lead him to an alternative acoustic sound with drops of inspiration from everywhere. Although he has been influenced by many artists Hannigan draws heavily from the songwriter “Passenger” for lyrical content creating meaningful songs that everybody can relate too.

Daisy Port has been singing, playing the piano and songwriting since she was 11. As well as writing her own songs, she loves to mash up versions of popular music to suit her mellow voice and wide vocal range. She is inspired by a wide range of musical genres and regularly performs both modern and classical pieces, both in a solo capacity and as part of a choir. As a student of the music station in Tonbridge, Daisy was given the opportunity to perform at the Grey Lady a number of times last year. She has also performed at the ICC Birmingham, Leeds Castle, The Llangollen Eisteddfodd, and Tonbridge Castle in both solo and choral capacity. Daisy recorded her first EP last year with a selection original songs. When not writing and performing, Daisy is a student at Tonbridge Grammar School, and hopes to study medicine next year whilst continuing to develop her music.

For the last 10 years, I have been writing and performing my own songs and instrumental pieces. I have performed numerous gigs at various venues as well as several small festivals. Over the last three years I have been focused on my studies at university and honing my art. I have and will be playing charity gigs to raise awareness for different charity and disaster relief campaigns. I am inspired by a wide range of influences, including  soul, jazz, folk, rock and modern pop music. My main influences at this time are Jack Johnson, Ben Howard and Bombay Bicycle Club. 

The songs I write revolve around my relationships with the people around me, experiences that I have had and using those experiences to embellish a narrative in song. I find inspiration in experience and through arts and literature. Sometimes I think that the music says enough without the need for lyric, so I write instrumental pieces alongside songs.

In the next six months I will continue to write songs as well as develop songs I already have in my repertoire and release them. Over this same period I am looking forward to playing more gigs and developing various projects.
