Asian Tones is delighted to announce the next show in the UNEARTHED series, this time with a special acoustic edition featuring upcoming RnB/Pop royalty: Josie Man & MEYY. Along with support from Rj Belo and more to be announced!
Josie Man
Josie Man, is a British singer-songwriter born in Orpington, to her father from Hong Kong and her mother from South London. She grew up around both her English and Cantonese-speaking families which has influenced her sound, along with her parents’ taste in music, including The BeeGees, Marvin Gaye, and Fleetwood Mac.
Calling her sound ‘identity pop’ she released her debut EP, aLOVINGboothang, on February 14, 2020, which included the single Colours, which has almost two million plays on Spotify. Colours premiered in Wonderland Magazine on November 6, 2019.
MEYY
Hailing from the directions of New Time R&B and progressive pop, her smooth running, and angelic vocals become an echo of the flexibility with which senses can blur and interlace. MEYY’s music is a scandalous lullaby for the night time, and a serenade to the emotions which may linger the next day. Media, press and tastemakers are onto MEYY. 2023 was the year she turned all eyes on her. With the release of her EP Digital Gloss, a headline tour, support shows for pop stars Lolo Zouai and Angele (both artists asked for MEYY personally) and a viral moment on TikTok, no one can deny she’s on the brink of breaking through.
Rj Belo
After a string of collaborative work, producer Rj Belo becomes artist. An artist and songwriter with Filipino heritage, Rj creates RnB/Soul music that fuses influences from KRnB with production with the songwriting principles of his adopted hometown, London.
In this new chapter, Rj steps into his artistry with live performances, self-accompanied with his expressive, lush handle on the keys and emotive vocal delivery. He’s performed at intimate Sofar sounds style gigs as well as venues like 91 Living room(Brick Lane) as part of the State Is Flow residency and The Social (Oxford Circus).
