WMH
We are living in very strange times - especially for the entertainment industry. The recent lockdowns have encouraged artists to get back to their roots. Though collaborations for bands have proved challenging, musically, these are exciting times. It is the distinctive artists that will connect and stand out.
Acts that have made unique-sounding recordings do not fit the mainstream, but it is this very uniqueness that connects them with an audience who want something original, honest and fresh. That's where the unique sound of WMH comes to the fore.
From the consise electic pop of Wayoh and Pressure, to the sublime solemnity of Sunset in the Morning and Need You Tonight, WMH's body of work has something for everyone - a body of work that will leave the listener somewhere other than where it found them.
WMH have an established song writing, producing and performing relationship dating back many years, and have followed various musical paths around the Globe. Born in Birmingham, England, they all now reside in and around Sutton Coldfield in the West Midlands.
