In April 2010, the paths of two dynamic and creative musicians crossed…

Soulful vocalist Randolph Matthews

and Flamenco guitarist Byron Johnston

Both brought unique skills to a fusion of Spanish acoustic guitar and African soul.

Randolph has a powerful yet tender vocal style which blends soul and folk music with elements

of neo African styles. He is a stirring and inspiring solo artist who introduces elements of

vocal percussion woven between touching melodies and his distinctive ‘heartsong’.

Solo guitarist Byron Johnston is a gifted musician who has performed his fusion of Mediterranean

& Flamenco influenced music internationally from India to the Caribbean. He has been a featured soloist at The International Guitar Festival and

London Guitar Festival following the release of his album ‘Oceano’.

Each of them is an established musician in his own right and between them they have played at

many venues and festivals.

Just to name a few….

Very soon after the beginnings of the collaboration Randolph and Byron realised that a special energy was present in their music. Live shows soon followed along with invitations to perform at festivals across the UK. They have

also given a highlight performance at The Royal Albert Hall (Ignite Concert), where they were both humbled to receive a standing ovation

from the audience.
