Rixton are a British four-piece who were discovered by famous American talent manager Scooter Braun, the man behind acts including Justin Bieber and The Wanted.

Meanwhile their debut album Let the Road will come out in January, featuring collaborations with the likes of Ed Sheeran and Mike Posner.
Tinashe is just 21 years old but the Los Angeles native is already a showbiz veteran, having appeared in animated film The Polar Express and bagged a recurring role as Jake’s girlfriend Celeste in Two and a Half Men.
This year alone Tinashe has had a U.S. hit with 2 On (featuring Schoolboy Q) and collaborated with Calvin Harris, Usher and ASAP Rocky.
Her debut album Aquarius came out this month, scoring not just a spot in the Billboard top 20 but also widespread critical acclaim for its dusky R&B sound - with rave reviews in publications from The Los Angeles Times to NME.
