Join Peckham Levels residents Finding Rhythms for a night of live performances showcasing the creativity of participants from their Making Waves programme.

Making Waves artists will take the stage to perform their music , sharing their hard work and creativity with a live audience. From soulful R&B vocals to a high-energy Drum & Bass DJ set, there will be something for every music fan.

Making Waves, a flagship project by Finding Rhythms, empowers people leaving prison and at-risk young people to channel their creativity and share their stories through music. Over the course of 10 sessions in their private Peckham studio, participants work one-on-one with a professional music producer to create, record and release original music. Along the way, they hone their skills in storytelling, vocal techniques, beat-making and performance, culminating in a Making Waves mixtape, released on Spotify and Bandcamp.

For some of our artists, this will be their first time performing in front of an audience. We’re proud to create a supportive and inclusive space that celebrates each participant’s artistic journey, no matter where they are.

A community showcase of up-and-coming talent from women and non-binary people in music for Independent Venue Week 2025.

Spoken word artist and alternative hip-hop performer Emmeline set up ESS Sessions in 2024, as a community night for female and non-binary musicians to showcase their skills, and discuss their experience of the industry. Emerging out of those conversations was the overwhelming need for a space in London where people could come together to create and perform, whilst being adequately supported. ESS Sessions at Peckham Levels is the group’s first live foray, and will feature performances from 8 up-and-coming musicians and DJs, with a strong interactive and community-driven focus.

Join us for some amazing music going late into the night, and to support a great cause. 

Emmeline:

Emmeline is a singer/songwriter originally from West Yorkshire now living in London, making spoken word and alternative hip-hop. She initially caught the attention of super producer Fraser T Smith (Stormzy, Adele, Dave), and had since gone on to release 3 projects, most recently her mixtape 'Shapes, Shadows, DVDs' with Lewis Recordings. In the past two years she has opened for The Streets, as well as playing Brighton's The Great Escape, and will in 2025 be heading to Austin for SXSW. Her blend of lyrical mastery with sharp delivery, and unique genre focus has gained her over 200 plays on UK Radio, including a live session with BBC Introducing's Emily Pilbeam, and interviews with other champions like Lauren Laverne and Cerys Matthews. 

Moli:

Artist and songwriter Moli is an exciting emerging pop artist on the global scene. Her shiny, soulful pop moves between styles with remarkable fluidity, drawing inspiration from a broad spectrum of influences, from Gen-Z favourites like Wet Leg and Phoebe Bridgers to classics like ABBA and The Police. Her releases include her nostalgic single ‘It’s Not My Fault’ produced by Jungle’s Tom McFarland, and her striking PMS anthem ‘Bring On The Rain’. These releases have garnered praise from The Line of Best Fit, Noctis, Enfnts Terribles, PopJustice, Luna Collective, and more.

Moli also has over 100 writing credits for songs with streams soaring into hundreds of millions on Spotify, including 'Breaking Me' by Topic and A7S, for which she received a BMI Pop Award in 2021, and ‘Weekends’ with Jonas Blue and Felix Jaehn. With two EPs already released and drawing acclaim from Wonderland, CLASH, The Line of Best Fit, Pop Justice, NOTION, and more, Moli is truly on the rise.

Niki Colet:

Niki Colet has been writing songs since she was ten, originally in the Philippines and now in East London where she is based. Her enchanting new EP 'We Only Ever Meet in Strange Dreams', produced by Alex Haines, was released recently across streaming platforms, and gained fantastic traction online with publications such as Dazed, The Luna Collective, and Saint Audio. Her sound is dream-like alternative pop, showcasing her silky vocals and deep lyrical capacity.

Valeria Miró:

Valeria Miró is a producer, singer and songwriter from Mexico City. Her music is deeply introspective, infused with the nostalgia and homesickness that can only come from moving far away from home to find a new one, only to realise you've left a bit of yourself behind. Valeria's lyrics show her folk influences, and her music show glimpses of latin traditional genres and neo-soul.

KAIDI AKINNIBI, LIDSTROM LIPERE + BARRELL JONES (DJ) 

An unmissable line-up of some of the most exciting players, beatmakers and selectors on the London jazz scene for what promises to be a fascinating night of forward-facing music of the highest quality.

Kaidi Akinnibi:

From South London, up-and-coming saxophonist Kaidi Akinnibi has already worked with an eclectic variety of artists including the likes of Tom Misch, Black Midi, Blue Lab Beats & Mark Kavuma’s Banger Factory. A standout member of London’s creative, vibrant jazz scene.

Although his fluent and thoughtful playing is rooted in the classic jazz genres, growing up in South London and learning from the Kinetika Bloco and the Jazz Warriors families, Kaidi has always had a multi-faceted outlook on music. His own music is, as he puts it “more vocal orientated, taking its influence from a broad base of electronica, jazz and classical music to create soundscapes reminiscent of movie soundtracks”. Though still in his early 20’s, Kaidi is already making his presence strongly felt on London’s vibrant, creative jazz scene.

Lidstrom Lipere feat. Rudi Creswick:

Tilé “DVo’ Gichigi and Axel Kaner-Lidstrom share a long music history, from the early days of the London jazz scene to collaborating on two albums with heavy-hitters, Cykada. During this time the two of them spoke of launching a duo project countless times.

Good things come to those who wait.

This project is an expression of their friendship, their love of music that makes your face screw up, and surrendering to wild and free improvisations, following the inner voice to revel in the beauty of the moment.

Barrell Jones (DJ):

Barrel Jones is a talented drummer known for his dynamic performances with jazz saxophonist Nubya Garcia and genre-blending artist Obongjayar. Beyond his drumming career, Barrel has made a name for himself in South London’s nightlife scene, curating a series of vibrant club nights. When he’s behind the decks as a DJ, he guarantees an electric atmosphere, turning every night into an unforgettable party.
