JOYA MOOI

Singer-songwriter Joya Mooi creates music for the fearless blending R&B, indie and pop with soulful depth and introspective lyrics. Drawing from her South African heritage and Amsterdam roots, she delivers a sound that’s both rich in identity and emotionally resonant. With her EP ‘Open Hearts’ (Aug 2024), Mooi enters a fresh chapter: groove-driven, disco-tinged tracks crafted with producer duo Easy Freak and Bastian Langebæk (Olivia Dean, Jessie Ware). It’s a vibrant evolution of her signature style. Having toured South Africa and supported Benny Sings across Europe, Joya is no stranger to the stage. Now she brings her magnetic live energy to Hit The City. Expect soulful melodies, bold storytelling, and a live show that stays with you long after the final note. OCTAVE LISSNER

Octave Lissner writes the kind of songs that make you feel like you’re cruising with the windows down — warm, groovy, and full of soul. Growing up in Paris with a violin in one hand and a guitar in the other, he found his voice somewhere between bluesy grit and sun-drenched folk. Influenced by icons like Nino Ferrer, Bob Marley, Bob Dylan, Otis Redding, and The Rolling Stones, his latest album Learning to Live (2025) is eclectic but cohesive. Always heartfelt and smooth. PHILINE

Step into Philine’s world of dreamy indie pop, where sparkling melodies meet honest, glowing vocals. With over half a million streams and Dutch radio love for her debut EP so sick of myself, she’s quickly making waves. Her new EP the side effects of living in a fantasy—mixed by Matt Wiggins (Adele, Florence + The Machine, Lorde) – marks her leap forward. Drawing inspiration from Holly Humberstone, The War on Drugs, and Phoebe Bridgers, Philine’s vivid storytelling and shimmering sound craft live shows that stop you in your tracks.
