Title: Managing director

Music Taste: Mainly soul & funk both old & new, also quality house music, and listen to BBC radio 6 most days to keep up with all current alternative stuff. Can't wait to goto see the Stone Roses in June. Oh, and there's always loads of local stuff I love too! (But I would say that)

What I love about Music: Music is part of most people's lives and it touches everyone in many different ways. Personally, it makes me happy when I need it most, sometimes it helps me sleep and it makes me dance too, there are so many emotions and memories I have which are linked to music.

emmahowe

Name: Emma Howe

Title: Media Executive

Music Taste: I have a pretty eclectic taste in music but The Smiths, The Cure, Joy Division, Arcade Fire, Daft Punk, Aretha Franklin, Talking Head and The Beautiful South (of course).

What I love about music: I think music can touch people on different levels, but it always reaches people in one way or another. I love how a song or an album can reflect how you feel at a certain point in your life. Being incapable of listening to something until your fully over it or a song always reminding you of 'that time'. I think music is the perfect marker of all the important events in your life.

 

sebotigbahName: Seb Otigbah

Title: A&R, In-House Producer, Music Business Consultant

Music Taste: At the moment i am into alot of Progressive House & alot of Hip Hop / R n B, also partial to a bit Marvin Gaye, and music with lots of melodies and chords..like choirs and strings.

What I love about Music: I love the way the bass rumbles every atom in your body and send shivers down your spine. I also love the way a melody can grab your imagination and release a flood of emotions without warning, just the ordinary stuff really.
