Originating from the village of West Chiltington located in West Sussex, United Kingdom, Alex Adair is a DJ, producer, and remixer often associated with the tropical house genre. Similar to other tropical house producers such as Kygo and Felix Jaehn, Adair's music features thumping, uptempo 4/4 house beats and sunny, relaxed synth textures as well as acoustic instrumentation, with percussive sounds such as xylophones being a particular characteristic of Adair's tracks. Adair remixed Jessie Ware's "Say You Love Me" and Ed Sheeran's "Thinking Out Loud" in 2014, but his big breakthrough came with the release of his original track "Make Me Feel Better" in the spring of 2015. The energetic track, which samples Ashford & Simpson's composition "Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing," was originally created for a creative music technology course that Adair was taking at Canterbury University and subsequently uploaded to his SoundCloud page, creating a buzz among EDM fans. Virgin EMI released the track and it became an international hit, peaking at number 13 on the U.K. singles chart. Adair followed the track's success with the release of his second single, "Heaven." In August 2017, Adair returned with the Island Records-issued single "Casual." ~ Paul Simpson

Known for her captivating covers of popular chart songs, Samantha Harvey is a pop vocalist from Suffolk, England. She discovered her love of singing at the age of eight and went on to explore her passion with a local youth drama company. It was there that she also developed a penchant for dancing and acting alongside singing, after she was given the lead role of Alice in the company’s production of Alice in Wonderland when she was 11 years old. Her hunger for the arts increased, and she graduated with a college diploma in performing arts. She went on to record her own videos, performing covers of songs by popular household artists such as Elvis Presley, Adele, and Ed Sheeran, and uploaded the footage to multiple social media sites. The videos began to generate attention and a turning point came when a fan approached her on Facebook to request that she cover the song "Angel" by Canadian singer/songwriter Sarah McLachlan for a departed loved one. Harvey did just that, and after a favorable response, she decided to release it as a charity single in order to raise funds and awareness for Cancer Research U.K. Her generosity, skill, and talent garnered an ever-burgeoning wave of attention, which paved the way for professional management, studio time, and songwriting sessions both at home and overseas. Due to overwhelming demand for her own material, the young singer went on to write and record her first original track and Samantha released the single "Forgive Forget" in the summer of 2017. She followed with a cover of "Can't Help Falling in Love" and "Say You Won't Let Go." In early 2018, she issued the single "Please." ~ Rob Wacey
