For this month’s size?sessions, we venture to a city rich in music history – Manchester. Taking place at Manchester’s already-iconic YES bar, the show features a Mancunian line-up, celebrating the city’s contemporary music scene. Before we share this size?sessions, we want to give you an insight into the roster. Have a read about each artist below and watch an interview with IAMDDB – we are so excited for this one.

IAMDDB

Diana De Brito – AKA IAMDDB – is a well-known name Manchester, hence why the artist is headlining our size? sessions Manchester show. Originally from Lisbon, Portugal, IAMDDB grew up with musical parents – an early inspiration for her artistry. Offering an array of genres – most specifically ‘Urban Jazz’ – IAMDDB’s music is led by her versatile vocals that are joined by modern trappy instrumentals. The sky is the limit for this artist; boasting shows at the likes of Wireless, Field Day, Glastonbury and more, we are excited to invite this seasoned performer to our roster.

Chunky

MC, DJ, Producer – in no order. Chunky is iconic within the Manchester music scene, known for his eclectic shows involving a wild genre-jumping spectacle. What’s more, having been a resident MC for Swamp 81, True Tiger and Hessle Audio, the artist has a proven array of talents. If you haven’t, make sure you check out Chunky’s latest single ‘Meh’, a glorious representation of Manchester’s distinctive rapping style.

Konny Kon DJ Set (Children of Zeus)

Coming as one-half of one of Manchester’s most in-demand soul projects; DJ Konny Kon of Children of Zeus brings his signature style of classic and upcoming soul and hip hop.
