Andy. Platts

Front man and songwriter in both Mamas Gun & Young Gun Silver Fox, Andy has penned chart topping releases for the band and for other artists around the world. Recent hit cuts includes chart topping songs for Take That & James Morrison.

Andy works primarily from his own studio facility based just outside of London but also regularly travels internationally to work alongside artists and other writers on projects.

His musical abilities span multi-instrumentalist to producer, he writes both top line and track in genres ranging from soul to rock and beyond.

MT. Jones

From his beginnings as a teenage busker to touring internationally with Jalen Ngonda and supporting Lauryn Hill, Jones’ journey has been shaped by both graft and soul.

His sound, a warm blend of 60s soul, modern R&B and jazz, has drawn comparisons to Donny Hathaway, Carole King, and D’Angelo.

Releasing his debut album in 2026, his current releases offer a growing catalogue that’s earned Jones strong tastemaker support across BBC Radio 2, BBC 6 Music, Jazz FM, and BBC Introducing.

Louis. Vause

Graham Coxon, guitarist with the band Blur, has written of Louis’ music that:
 
“His music resonates with the sound of a life well lived; his acceptance of its fragility and absurdity and it is imbued with his unique ability to combine wit, melancholy and joy,”
 
whilst Ivan Hewitt of The Daily Telegraph wrote of his album ‘Midnight in Havana’ that:
 
“The pianist and composer Louis Vause is a reminder of a different era when musicians living exuberant, near chaotic lives devoured all the music they encountered and let it re- emerge coloured effortlessly with their own personality”.

Uppermost in Vause’s mind when composing is the importance of evoking emotion, time and place. A common reaction to hearing his music is that it creates pictures in the mind. Louis is a Composer, Pianist, and Teacher who has worked with bands as diverse as Madness, Graham Coxon, The King Blues, Ffion Regan and The Lee Thompson Ska Orchestra and can count amongst his clients ­ both current and former ­ George Harrison, Suggs, Beth Orton and Virginia Ironside. He has released three critically acclaimed self penned albums and has appeared and worked on many television and radio shows including ITV’s recent ‘Jekyll and Hyde’ adaption and ’The Fast Show’ and in cinema performing with The Louis Vause Orchestra in Paramounts remake of ‘Alfie’.

He has a daughter, Melody, and lives in London.

Shawn. Lee

Shawn Lee is one of the most prolific musicians of his generation and is widely regarded and respected throughout the music industry as such. A multi-instrumentalist, producer, singer songwriter & composer who has released 34 albums as an artist to date.

He has played, produced and written on hundreds of records. He has worked with a diverse range of artists including Jeff Buckley, Kelis, Amy Winehouse, and Princess Superstar.
