Poet's Corner Area Guide

Wirral-raised and London-based, Blair is an alternative rap artist whose sound blends elements of dance, jazz, and indie rock. The themes he explores tell a coming of age story through language that is sometimes elusive, sometimes direct. He grew up listening to Slipknot, Loyle Carner, and anything in between, and his music is a reflection of that - jazzy voicings are paired with smooth vocal delivery, washy guitars are offset by dancefloor rhythms. In all his tracks, Blair uses variety to create a fresh sonic aesthetic. support from goostavo Desperate to share what life is like being neurodivergent, Angus Bruce began releasing music under GOOSTAVO. Picking up the saxophone at aged 8 he fell in love with jazz, learning to produce as a teenager, and falling in love with hip hop and rap during his time living and studying music in Southampton. Since moving to London a few years ago, alongside supporting artists like GIYA and DARGZ, GOOSTAVO has sold out shows at NextDoorRecords, The Troubadour, and The Libra alongside being a finalist in tbe 2024 Cross The Tracks Emerging Artist Competition.
