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.

Join us in celebrating creativity in the place it strikes, The Bedroom. For many, it’s a normal room in the house; for the artist, it’s a place where songs are born, refined, and rehearsed.

Kevin Smith, a.k.a. Kojaque recorded his concept album Town’s Dead in a makeshift wardrobe in North Dublin, but that didn’t stop it from getting attention – it earned him live performances on both Colors and Vevo and he’s just wrapping up a UK headline tour.

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.”

Jordan Rakei
