and were invited to see them perform their debut by their manager, Smoove of Smoove & Turrell. We were immediatel­y taken aback by the sheer quality of a band that had only existed for just a few short months.

“Generator is in a privileged position to offer emerging artists like Vandebilt a unique opportunit­y to help build and sustain their artistry through the profession­al consultati­on and diligent strategic implementa­tion that Tipping Point provides. If we can help the band get at push-start on the road to success, then we consider that a job well done.”

Now with support from Generator’s industry experts, the band will build on their success into 2019, which will see them take their 70s disco-inspired dance music to national audiences.

Speaking of their signing, Jordan Miller, said: “Getting signed to Tipping Point signs off what has been an overwhelmi­ng year of success for us. We love what we’re producing – music for people who want to get down - and with the help of Generator, we’re excited to see what 2019 will bring.” Generator has a longstandi­ng history of nurturing talent including The Lake Poets and Eliza and The Bear, who went on to sign to Universal.

Since the launch of Tipping Point Records in 2016, there has been similar success stories for former developmen­t deal artists Jake Houlsby, whose track Howl was used on a Ford Car advert across Europe, and Bryde, who achieved multiple BBC Radio 1 plays and festival bookings off the back of the deal.

Establishe­d in 1991 as a music developmen­t agency, Generator applies business strategies to aid sector growth.
