iluvlive @ Qube Elephant is an intimate event that showcases emerging talent, spotlighting the new wave of UK artists. The night will feature live performances from Demzz, Libby, Molly J, and NAYANA AB.
Meet Demzz, an artist and actor hailing from South London. His music has been both a passion and a form of therapy. What began as a fun hobby has evolved into a full-fledged career he has fallen in and out of love with many times. His favourite genres inspire his own music, including hip-hop, R&B, jazz, drill, and garage.
Libby’s music captures the universal experiences of life, making listeners feel understood and connected. She reflects on the complexities of being young in the city with a pure tone and delicate songwriting. Her debut single, ‘Do No Wrong’, was co-written with close collaborator Oscar Scheller (PinkPantheress, Rina Sawayama), and she has since worked with with the likes of Marlon Roudette, Låpsley, Ed Thomas, Mac Jamieson, Glen Roberts and Fred Ball.
Molly J is a French/Congolese pianist, singer, performer, songwriter, composer and producer. She released her new single, “No Time”, a track combining a Drill beat and R&B vocals from the 90s.
From being a classically trained pianist to becoming a singer and performer who has been influenced by international musical genres (Gospel, R&B, Jazz, Classical, Opera, Pop, K-pop, Congolese music, Afrobeats and more).
NAYANA AB's rise began with winning Dr. Martens’ Made Strong competition in 2023, leading to her debut headline show with Ezra Collective, P-rallel, and Chi Virgo. By 2024, she supported RAYE at BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend, Reading & Leeds Festival, and the BRIT Awards. Her wins in the Cross The Tracks emerging artist competition and the Tileyard x SoundCloud Songwriting contest furthered her career, offering festival slots and a writing retreat in Morocco. Drawing from British and Caribbean cultures, NAYANA blends jazz, R&B, neo-soul, Caribbean rhythms, and Middle Eastern influences, creating soulful, timeless music that connects people emotionally.
