Based in south London and hailing from the Welsh capital, Marged is a multidisciplinary artist working across voice, movement and performance. She delves deep into the realms of vocal practice, recognising its transformative power as a tool for collective liberation.

Seraphina Simone is the artist moniker of composer, producer and vocalist Seraphina D’Arby. Growing up between London and LA, her music draws on the syrupy seediness of Cali glamour and murky, neon-lit London grit. She has been part of Self Esteem’s live band since 2020.
