PRS for Music and Club Fandango present ‘Almost Famous’ on Thursday 7 July, a night showcasing the best new acts in the music industry. This week's PRS for Music Featured Artist - Akayzia - will be performing at ‘Almost Famous’.
Akayzia is a London based indie pop group, who write and perform poignant tales of modern city life. The band is fronted by Akayzia Parker who grew up touring with her parents company with artists like Tina Turner and David Bowie. Akayzia also spent her childhood summers travelling to music festivals in the UK and around Europe with her large close knit family. She spent a few years living in New York.
Parker has written and had songs featured for major TV shows, films and co-written with artists such as Groove Armada and Paul Hartnoll of Orbital fame. The bands artfully delivered songs are hard to pigeonhole as they are influenced by many musical genres, more notably rock, folk and blues of which the later is heavily evident in the vocal performances.

This Watford based musician has been playing guitar for 10 years and works part-time in a music shop. Emmanuel Folorunso is the plays bass and lives with his family in south east London, he honed his skills playing gospel music at his church. Jose is the newest member of the band.
