Scunthorpe Pride, Church Square on Sunday 27th August (Bank Holiday)
Free Entry All Day
KHALYSIS are sisters and best friends, Olivia & Georgia. Pronounced ‘CA’–‘LEE’–‘SIS’ it is derived from several different words in various languages for the likes of Queen, Warrior, Powerful and Loving.
Together the songwriters have penned over 150 original tracks and collaborated with the likes of X Factors’ Ben Haenow; Sugababes Mutya Buena, America’s Got Talent Courtney Hadwin; and the UK Chart Number 1 producers Billen Ted. To add to this, they have top-lined a number of tracks for well know producers including Dario G and DJ Ironik.
Georgia’s musical influences include Banx & Ranx, Sean Paul, Clean Bandit and early JLo; whereas Olivia loves Zara Larson for her vocals and the queen herself – Beyonce.
Several of their tracks have already been snapped up by SONY and BMG, with some appearing on television programmes all over the world.
Recently they have been chosen by a well known international drinks brand as their musical partner of choice for a summer campaign 2023 that will have national coverage on television, radio, internet and more.
As an act they have played to crowds of over 55,000 for Metro FM and BBC Radio in the North East of England and in front of thousands across the country, becoming firm crowd favourites at London and Newcastle Prides and other large music events. This is an act whose personality is every bit as infectious as their dance floor hooks, and audiences far beyond their native Hartlepool absolutely loving their idiosyncratic northern charm.
Their social numbers are impressive for a non-signed act with Facebook having over 16,000 followers, Instagram over 19,000 followers and TikTok having almost 4,000 followers with over 11,000 likes, and the numbers are growing with each post.
They love to collaborate, either in person or at a distance using the internet; also they have written songs for artists across genres including, dance, pop, rock, and ballads. In addition, several of their tracks have been bought for various sync campaigns. However, what they love most is performing their original work to crowds.
More acts announced soon.….
