The Bedroom
Making a stage from home with your favourite artists
The Bedroom is a space where creativity often begins for many a music-maker. We are celebrating art born in this space with an eclectic range of artists. From up-and-coming indies to established veterans, there's plenty to discover.
Watch your new favourite artists make The Bedroom their stage and bring the room to life — performing their choice of two songs each. This series of original and live performances will make you smile, get you moving, bring a tear to your eye, and everything between.
The Bedroom will drop a new episode every three weeks. Watch them right away by following us on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram.

YONAKA
Raw vocals and driving melodies in The Bedroom
British rock band YONAKA introduces their powerful melodic hooks and thought-provoking lyrics performing two songs — Ordinary and Seize the Power.
YONAKA bring a twist to rock with traces of metal, punk, and grime — and their lyrics don’t pull any punches. “When we write songs, we don’t write 50 and pick two. We write it, knowing it’s going to be a good song,” smiles Theresa. “Musically we try and keep it different. We get bored so we don’t want other people to get bored.”
