This month we're turning the spotlight on Iconic artist, Meryn Nixon!
๐ธ When not working as a singer & songwriter with 60's/70's influences (as well as an actress & even a princess! ๐ธ๐ป. ) She uses her musical talents here at Iconic, doing song commissions to help us with our community projects ๐
Here is her song 'Staying Alert' that we commissioned during the pandemic, for some light relief.
Fun fact: The whole song, (apart from vocals & guitar) was made using household items! ๐. โ ๐ฅ. ๐งน
& below, a link to 'Living On The Front Line', commissioned for our Fast Forward project, using true stories from veterans, to turn the spotlight on their experiences with mental health & PTSD ๐

๐ต Our Black Heritage Matters project continues with a special interview! Iconic artist, Meryn Nixon caught up with Drew Stansall (The Specials, From The Specials - Neville Staple, Quadrophenia night & more) ๐ถ๐
They chat about his influences, the importance of black music & how we protect music styles like reggae from decline in today's world. ๐๏ธ๐ช
Check out the link in our bio for full interview & more, coming soon! Stay tuned ๐คฉ
Here at Iconic, we support artists & art itself in all its various forms & styles. ๐๐
We hope that today's message will inspire people, young & old to delve into a musical style they may not have considered listening to before ๐ง and to also go back into the archives, making sure the roots of music stay strong & live on, influencing future generations of artists to bring these styles into the modern world in a fresh exciting way! ๐๐ถ
London has its surprises!
