FUDGE & THE FREQUENCY

Fudge And The Frequency are an energetic music collective who are telling the world to wake the funk up. Lead singer Fudge looks just as cutting edge as he sounds. His voice has a soulful rawness to it that cannot be taught or trained. Fudge & The Frequency's music is a fusion of funk, soul, dubstep hip-hop, rock and reggae. Frontman Fudge's voice sits perfectly in the middle of this soundscape allowing the listener to be taken away by the cleaver lyrics and refreshing tone. The singer has been dubbed 'a mixture of Jamiroquai and Stevie Wonder with a futuristic punch in the face.

"Move over JK." Metropolis Studios, Senior Mastering Engineer

SAMPLE ANSWER
Sample Answer (Maurice O'Connor) is an 18 year old Acoustic/Indie/Urban solo project from Dublin, Ireland but now based in London.
His live shows are acoustic guitar based and using its wooden body as a sort of percussive instrument, he sings and raps. This makes his live performances much fuller and allows him to be on the same circuit as bands.

Since moving to London, he's supported and played on the same bill as artists such as Pete Doherty, Archive, The View, Congo Natty and Alabama 3.
