Fresh. Unapologetic. Next generation talent.
From the Glasshouse brings you a garden of musical delights including homegrown talent, wildflowers from further afield, and brand new music which has been lovingly nurtured in our iconic glass building.
Expect special one-off performances, intimate sets, the occasional surprise guest and a cosy and relaxed feel. Offering up a place for you to discover your new favourite artist from folk to pop and everything in between.
This time around we’re teaming Nrthrn Baby; a Newcastle based music and culture agency that was built to give a voice to those that are underrepresented, especially those that sit within the realms of afrobeat, rap, soul and R&B (all genres which may not necessarily be associated with the North East). Nrthrn Baby proudly work with a diverse range of talent, and are made up of a team who represent just that. Their aim is to connect the dots of the North East and the wider music industry, providing game changing opportunities to artists and creatives across the board.
This month’s leafy line-up features: NE-O and Shakk
NE-O
Former member of BBC Introducing tipped Grime/Rap duo NE Dons – NE-O started making music in the summer of 2017 and since then has released 4 EPs, including his debut solo project the ‘WAVE EP’.
NE-O’s recent single ‘Isit’ in collaboration with Eyeconic was crowned ‘Track of the week’ on BBC Tees and has received continued support from BBC introducing.
In 2021 NE-O was awarded the MOBO funded Help Musicians grant and used the grant to further develop his name outside of his hometown Newcastle, and has since received support from DJ Target and Gemma Bradley on BBC Radio 1Xtra and BBC Radio 1 Introducing.
NE-O’s energy and stage presence has given him a reputation as a performer, and he has gone on to support some of the UK’s top rappers such as D Double E, P Money, IRAH, Big Zuu & Kamakaze and has also performed alongside some of the UK’s leading bass artists such as DJ Zinc, Annix, Bou & Zero.
Shakk
This is Shakk – no frills. Just raw and unapologetically real.
Since emerging in September 2018, Shakk has been making waves; playing iconic venues and sold-out shows, supporting big names plus getting recognition from national radio and BBC Introducing along the way.
He blends influences and breaks boundaries without losing authenticity. Each performance reflects his dynamic style and genuine love for the craft.
Shakk’s a steadfast advocate for his roots and the North East’s music scene with narrative rhymes that paint a vivid picture of the region. Shakk invites listeners to join him on a real, soulful journey, where the love for music takes centre stage, and his art unfolds naturally.
