Noisettes

Congratulations to 2Wavers,
Shingai Shoniwa and Dan Smith, aka THE NOISETTES. Their single, 'Don't Upset The Rhythm' reached No 2 in the charts recently. Check out their new album, 'Wild Young Hearts'.

Noisettes will be at T4 on the Beach, 19 July 09. www.space.com/noisettes.uk
space New 2Wave Patron

Shingai Shoniwa arrived in London from Zimbabwe when she was 11 and joined 2Wave when she was 12.

"My experiences led me to 2Wave. I'm so pleased to be a patron because I know how important a place like 2Wave is. It gave me the freedom to be myself."

Co-band member, Dan Smith was also a 2Waver and joined at 17. Later as Associate artists they created the musical,
Harmony in Harlem, produced by 2Wave in 2003.

Shingai says "I gained confidence at 2Wave as well as support, laughter, and constructive criticism! That's where I honed my craft. It also gave me a stage. All those performances mean I can perform anywhere! My advice to young artists is to keep your head high. And don't be afraid to make the most of your uniqueness... because that's your ticket!"

Trustee, Natasha Matthews, says "We support young artists so they can build their careers. We're proud of Shingai and Dan and welcome their involvement."
