Jupiter is an expressive and emotive vocalist from Manchester. His influences include Jeff Buckley, Thom Yorke and a blend of classic Soul/Motown singers. With a keen interest in music production, he creates some of his own instrumentals and has recently started composing music for soundtracks. Over the years he’s performed in musicals, with live bands and many online cabarets during the lockdowns. Look out for him performing a stirring selection of covers and interpretations of classic songs at various points throughout the festival.

Alexis Corey is a dynamic and powerful vocalist, songwriter, musical alchemist and coach from New York City. She currently resides in London and travels the world and country sharing her music as well as hope and awareness to others who have shared suffering from addiction and mental health issues. 

She has performed music professionally since early childhood, however, at a young age experienced extreme life altering events which caused her to turn to drugs and alcohol to cope with life. This led her to a profound spiritual awakening that she now shares with others in hopes to inspire them to seek the Power within.  

After years of battling with addiction and mental health issues, Alexis is now able to live her dream of being a traveling artist and helps inspire others to do the same. She creates music, performs regularly with her band, songwrites and advocates for women and men who suffer from mental health issues as well as domestic violence. In addition to her own musical craft, she also leads other women and men in a movement she calls "The Renaissance". The purpose of this movement is to capture their own essence, creative genius and gifts in order to build successful and abundant lives and businesses around their creativity. She does so through energetic clearing, activation, tantra as well as structural empowerment and mindset work to address what is alive for each individual during their work together. 

What inspires her music today is the healing of her own soul and transmitting the same healing, joy and pure entertainment to other human beings. She is now in the business of creating healing through musical entertainment to transform the hearts and minds of others. The idea that we may transform and live a purposeful, meaningful and impactful life by design, which by default impacts the lives of others, is what drives her to create and evolve. It is pure alchemy. She is able to best share this through the gift of music and songwriting and the Renaissance movement she has created. 
She wants people to connect with their souls through music and know they are not alone. She desires human beings to connect to each other across all different genders, races, sexual preferences, backgrounds, statuses and any other imaginary labels we as a collective humanity have created. The true purpose of music and healing is to foster connection and community to enable all to lead a joyous life filled with abundance and happiness.

Alexis provides an experience of the present moment that is not to be forgotten, warms your heart and inspires you to believe in yourself and the possibilities that are limitless always within your reach!
