"I've found that you can help so many people with your songs "My love for music is my main motivation as an artist, and if I am able to help people with my songs then that is the greatest reward," She says, "My aim is to take the listener back to a time when music was true, meaningful, and soulful. When music was less corrupt and came from a place of inspiration and beautiful storytelling". (Euphemia Ellison)

 Group Name: IV-Kast (4-kast) Members: Esco daè Won, Triple Z & Kq (SideShow) Genre: Hip-Hop Jazz Style Bio: IV-Kast are a hip-hop group that was formed in the heart of south west London, (Clapham Junction). The group was formed in the era of the new Millennium. Esco Daè Won & Triple Z is the formal MC's of the group and Kq is the producer (also known as SideShowBeats) as well as a MC too. To each of their own credit, although they are a collective group, their individual styles stand out from each other, but what forms them to be such an eclectic group, is the same amount of passion they have for music. Their music can be described as, real, truthful and lyrical, with the element of the hip-hop style that set you into a jazzy type of feel. They have appeared on several mix tapes and are in line to be sponsored by London City’s very own 'De Facto' who creates the popular 'L.C' caps. IV -Kast are now ready to venture off to take London city by storm, and are starting to make appearances all over London. So I hope this gives you a nice insight of the group and I hope to hear from you because of your organization. It would be appreciated if you were interested in an up and coming group like IV-Kast to help shine in the right path to success.
