2008 has already been a great year for UK artists and is only set to get better. With a plethora of highly anticipated forthcoming releases and the charts adorning many of our home grown cuts the scene is really starting to prove it can hold its own against it¹s sizeable relation across the pond.

More good news has just landed too, east London bred voice of the street DIGGA has followed in WILEY and IRONIK¹s footsteps and got himself signed to Asylum RECORDS!!

Following the leak of his hugely popular single 'Broken' it was only a matter of time before the big boys came running.

Without even recording a video for the track the infectious story of love and loss spread world wide through the method of fan made video¹s and support from a number of key radio dj tastemakers.

This is just the start for this star in the making look out for an album to come, collaborations with MJ COLE, CHASE & STATUS & much, much more....

Congratulations DIGGA!!

Professor Green sends Stig back to the dump!

July 11, 2008:

Professor Green, managed by ArisingArtist's very own Ged Malone, was at one stage the number two battle MC in the world. The last few years though have seen Pro Green sign to Mike Skinner's label, The Beats, and working on his forthcoming debut album which meant battling was put on hold. This was until a challenge was set...

On Wednesday 9th July Pro Green battled at the Jump Off for the first time in almost three years. What forced Pro Green out of retirement...? £50,000 worth of MySpace promotion. His opponent? Stig of the Dump. The event was set and the hype began:

Roll on Wednesday 9th July!

The Astoria 2 was packed, the crowd was ready and both Pro Green and Stig were pacing about in anticipation. In the end it was a three round battle with some serious lines that certainly wouldn't be suitable to print here but no doubt you'll get the drift... It went all the way but Pro Green received the public vote as well as a unanimous jusges decision. So as it stands Pro Green remains the number one Jump Off battle MC and is £50k richer in the MySpace promotion department.

ArisingArtist would like to congratulate both Pro Green and Ged Malone for their success and hope that forthcoming album will benefit from the MySpace promotion to go multi platinum.

International visits...

June 23, 2008:

Last Friday ArisingArtist had its first international visitor. Nicolas Crausaz flew in from Switzerland to have a one-to-one meeting with Ged and Simon. The Swiss based percussionist came armed with new material and a whole host of questions. Given the smiles in the picture it looks like the session went pretty well...

Arising Artist represented on Music Tank panel...

13 April, 2008:

Yesterday saw Simon Burke-Kennedy sit on a Music Tank panel specifically aimed at 14 to 18 year olds who have an interest in music and making a career out of music. The event took place at Rough Trade East just off Brick Lane in London and a number of young people turned up to hear what a handful of music industry professionals had to say on the topic of 'Buzz Building For The Digital Teenage Generation'.

In addition to Simon other experts on the panel included Harry Leckstein (Freeport Records), Alfie Dennen (MoBlog:Tech) and Rob & Chris from the band Enter Shikari. The event went well and the young crowd were very responsive.

Additional panels on the same topic take place in Manchester (May 19th) and Liverpool (June 10th). For further info check the Music Tank website (http://www.musictank.co.uk/)
