A singer, songwriter, producer and composer AUGUST is best known for her work as the founder, director and lead vocalist of the popular live act and festival favourites Bass Choir. As a solo artist she's also been peppering our playlists for the last two years with a series of beguiling, brooding, dark soul fusions.

​

Deliciously unclassifiable, previous releases such as Empty Languages, Careless and No Release sit between multiple genres from trip-hop to Jungle via dubstep. Prioritising vibe and sentiment over any sense of boundaries or stifling pigeonhole, each cut from AUGUST so far has hit hard with that smouldering, dark soul feel that Bristol has been synonymous with since the primordial days of the Wild Bunch collective which spawned a movement comprising the likes of Tricky, Massive Attack and Portishead.

 

With collaborations set for this year, thousands of streams already under her belt

and comparisons to FKA Twigs, Kelela and Keiyaa (with added amen breaks), AUGUST is set for big things.

'Make Me Glad’ the latest single is out now with new releases planned for 2024.

 

“‘No Release’ is an absolute banger” - James Threlfall, BBC Introducing

 

“AUGUST’s music has been on repeat for me since her debut - what an incredible vocal” - Harriet Robinson, BCFM Radio & BBC Introducing

 

“I can’t wait to hear more from this artist” - Silecta, Reprezent Radio / Rinse FM

 

AUGUST is also the Musical Director and Founder of Bristol based vocal collective ‘Bass Choir’.

 

“Bass Music is inclusive, it will never be one genre, it will never be one sound… 

A refusal to accept genre boundaries, that philosophy resonates throughout every project that I’m involved in” - AUGUST
