*Hailing from Trinidad and Tobago, Viren Neel is a singer-songwriter with a penchant for retro-rock."

I am a singer-songwriter hailing from Trinidad and Tobago. I've always had a profound love for music from the 1960s to early '70s so I decided one day, after loads of covers, 10 years of guitar playing and a little bit of singing and writing experience, I'm going to make them for myself. My first song, Change, released in 2020 quickly became the 5th most listened to song on Apple Music in Trinidad and my life as an artist has been a notably thrilling one ever since. Though I typically say my music is era-based, if I had to say what genres I cover, it'd be folk, soul and rock with writing that pulls from my Trinidadian perspective. I so can't wait for you all to hear me at Farrago!

I adore working with lots of colour and I strive to find rare visual harmonies between tones throughout various moments within the composition. Painting has always been an extremely personal and isolated experience for me, being a meditative process. The pure experience of art personally exists not in looking at the final piece, but within the moment of every brush stroke – the application of medium to canvas.

‍

In the early stages I explored with painting solely from feel - detaching my conscious self from the hand that held the paint brush. Previously, every stroke had to be precise and had to develop into the specific final view that had been decided during composition. It took a lot of practice and experimentation to find my flow – the space in which I now exist in as I paint. In that moment I free the brush, with my eyes acting as a guide in the process.

The less you think about each stroke, the more you enjoy the feel of what you’re looking at.

“We’ve never liked the idea of being ‘just another indie band’,” say King Kuda. The Brighton-based four-piece, whose sound has evolved from classic indie numbers to incorporating “creamy guitars, big hooks, and hypnotic grooves”, first met at university and started jamming in the living room of their shared house. Their 2018 debut single Wildflower’ was packed with spangly guitars and wistful vocals, and now boasts almost half a million streams. New banger, ‘Bloodstream’, however, is reminiscent of electronic artists Dusky and Bonobo, who the band count as recent influences on their sound as well as indie gods, Foals.

TEETH is a project housing expression through wardrobe & an aesthetics display influenced by Nerdy Enthusiasm.

Streetwear sparked my interest in fashion.

It originated from a combination of New York hip-hop fashion, Skate Culture, Graffiti, California surf culture, and elements of sportswear, punk, and Japanese street fashion.

With New York being a melting pot of people it makes so much sense streetwear was birthed in that city.

My city London is a melting pot so I’m throwing in my ingredients to the melting pot that is streetwear.

The TEETH mind is a melting pot.
