Graffiti6 debut EP 'Stone In My Heart' released March 22nd 2010
Often, the best ideas come when you rip up the rulebook and follow what feels good. Just ask Graffiti6.
The unlikely pairing of producer TommyD and singer/songwriter Jamie Scott began 18 months ago as an experiment neither thought would work and has grown in a pop project so refreshingly rule-free a sense of adventure seeps from every song.
Exclusive: Graffiti6 interview
Try to categorise Graffiti6 and you're in trouble. You'll certainly spot vintage soul influences, the pair's shared love of Hendrix, folk and funk. You'll hear house and hip hop beats destined to fill dancefloors. At the heart of the songs are pop melodies you could sit down with a guitar and strum. But Graffiti6 don't make music to be analysed. From the moment they named their band by flicking through pages of their favourite books and calling out the first words their eyes fell on - Lionel Stingray and Suitcase Unannounced were close contenders - the pair's main aim has been to have fun.

Graffiti6 have only recently started gigging, but have already set up their own, monthly club night at the Vibe Bar in East London. The plan is to put on an electric line-up of performers - live, Graffiti6 expand to a six-piece.
After the huge success of the first '6 At Vibe Bar', Graffiti6 are back at Vibe Bar on Thursday 25th March, 2010.
Guests include:
