West Pier Presents.. Rising & select

grassroots Artist Showcases

Important Notice

We have re-launched our entire live music division.

Rising Stars has now taken its final bow and from January 2026 onwards, West Pier Presents becomes the new home for all of our live music promotions.

West Pier Presents is a dedicated promoter identity bringing memorable live shows and established artists from Brighton and beyond. This marks an important next chapter for West Pier Recordings as we grow from supporting emerging artists into delivering professionally curated live events, while staying true to our values and community.

Our commitment to new and developing talent remains at the heart of everything we do. This continues through:

West Pier Presents.. 'Rising', a platform dedicated to showcasing exceptional grassroots artists, including standout performers from Brightons musical education establishments and Brighton’s wider music scene, exceptional talent early on in their music journey.

Alongside this, we are proud to be partnering with the mental health charity Mind to support their vital work within the music industry. Mental health is a major issue for artists, who often face intense pressure, financial uncertainty and demanding schedules in their efforts to build sustainable careers. Through this partnership, we aim to help raise awareness, promote healthier conversations and support a cause that is deeply important to us and to the artists we work with. As such all our 'Rising' events are 'not for profit', any profits after costs will be donated to Mind.

Later in the year, we will be launching West Pier Presents 'SELECT', the next step up from 'Rising'. This will be held at ALPHABET and will consist of more experienced talent and for those that are starting to breakthrough as well as special guests. Keep 19th June 2026 free! Works in progress!

Stay tuned via our Instagram page @westpierrecordings for further updates and gig dates for 2026.

Thank you,
Julian and MJ

FEATURING

Everyday Saints (Brighton) - https://www.instagram.com/everydaysaintss/ - 30 min set

Everyday Saints hailing from Brighton are an alternative pop project exploring themes of occultism, old Hollywood glam, love, loss, and the darker side of showbiz. After years of musical collaboration in various forms, the band has spent the last six months reinventing themselves - writing and producing new synth-based music under the mentorship of Kieron Pepper (Sleeper, Radiophonic Workshop, former Prodigy live drummer). Totally original and not to be missed! Their new direction is non comparable to their early releases on Spotify. You will be the first to see their new electronic act!

Prepared to be entertained!

Kammin (Brighton) - https://www.instagram.com/kamminjack/- 30 min set

Kammin is a 20-year-old multi-instrumentalist, composer, and producer whose innovative sound reflects a deep musical maturity well beyond his years. Currently based in Brighton, where he is studying music at University, Kammin’s journey began early, behind a drum kit at the age of four and with a guitar in hand by the age of seven. Rooted in jazz, blues, and rock, Kammin’s foundational influences ground his work in rich musical tradition. Over time, his creative evolution has led him to embrace electronic and experimental genres, resulting in a unique sonic blend that bridges the organic and the digital. Catch Kammin with his new live set featuring all his original music.

Static Ella (Brighton) - https://www.instagram.com/static.ella/- 30 min set

Static Ella is a Kiwi songwriter, producer and fully independent electronic artist based in Brighton. Working from her attic studio, she writes, produces and shapes every detail of her music. Her self-produced single On My Mind received strong support in 2025, including a feature on BBC Introducing Sussex and Surrey. Since launching her new live setup, she has already performed at The Great Escape Festival in Brighton and has become a familiar name across multiple grassroots showcase events.

 

Inspired by artists such as Billie Eilish, Imogen Heap and the darker textures of trip hop pioneers like Massive Attack, Static Ella blends atmospheric production with clear pop sensibilities. Her songs explore self-discovery, resilience and the darker corners of the human experience.
