South east London songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Liam Ramsden, aka Mellah, is one of the UK’s brightest, most vivid young storytellers. His frankly ludicrous talent ranges from playing the drums (he began this journey as a teenage drummer), to guitars, to keys and synths, to bass, to the trumpet. He is the creative equivalent of those people who can speak seven different languages.
He writes heartfelt tales with a spirited vocal that is both stripped of effects and right at the top of the mix. His words are there to be heard, and he shows an uncanny ability to put smart spins on tough subjects, like the sudden death of his father (‘Nada’), or trying to keep depression at the door (‘Old Friend’, which appeared in the third season of Charlie Brooker’s sci-fi dystopia Black Mirror).
Catchy as hell, his moreish left-field pop songs, position Mellah as a canny purveyor of whip-smart, clued-up indie-pop.
