One Blood

Singer+2

One Blood is a roots reggae singer-songwriter from the Seychelles Islands, shaped by the spirit of artists such as Bob Marley, Culture, Burning Spear, Peter Tosh and Curtis Mayfield. A self-taught guitarist and vocalist, he writes from a place where spiritual reflection, social awareness and island life meet, carried by warm, unhurried grooves and a classic roots feel. His music has reached an international audience, with over 9,000 monthly Spotify listeners and more than 1,400 followers engaging with his growing catalogue. One Blood learned guitar and developed his voice while living in London, UK, performing as a street artist and absorbing the city’s reggae and sound system culture. After returning to Seychelles in 2006, he recorded his first song in 2013. Two years later he formed the band One Blood with French dub poet Selam; the project ended when Selam returned to France, but it opened the path for his solo work. In 2019 he teamed up with his cousin George Camille of Full Vibes, based in Canada, and released his debut album Reach Out through his own indie label, BloodRoots Music Productions. A second album, JAH WARRIORS, followed in 2022, with both albums now available on all major digital platforms. In October 2023, One Blood released the single “I Found Myself In Africa,” which was selected among the artists featured in the Intercontinental Bienal 2023 for creative and performing arts. Building on this momentum, he is now working towards his next release, a new track titled “Changes,” which he expects to share around late October 2026.

Chiara Macheda

Singer

I'm Chiara Macheda, singer-songwriter and vocal coach from Rome. I started making music when I was 5 years old taking cello lessons. Over the years I have obtained the ABRSM exams of the Royal Schools of Music in London in singing, choir, cello and solfeggio. For almost a year I have also been interested in the aspects of teaching by starting to attend a course in singing teaching that I will conclude in a few months. Over the years, starting from a classical repertoire, I have also had the opportunity to work in the Jazz and Pop fields, getting very close to R&B sounds. In the last period I have been attending a recording studio that has allowed me to follow and work with different artists as a vocal coach and as an author. I also write for myself, I am in fact developing my artistic project that blends everything that has been my musical path to date.

Cristiano Contin

Singer+4

I founded the RESPECT SoulBand which represent the most recent project of my career which began in 1988 after studying modern singing, piano and composition at the CIM in Verona. I started by writing songs inspired by the big names of Italian songwriting but with a markedly Blues matrix, a recurring and recognizable element from the veiled melancholy often perceptible in my lyrics and in the color of my voice. In my career I have held various roles in the show business sector including record producer (Exentia Records) and artistic director of clubs and events such as Erbezzo Sound (2015-17) and Verona Funky (2016-18). In 2021 I published a blog on the funkymove.it network in which I deal with insights and new trends in the world of R'n'B, Soul, Jazz and Songwriting Music. I am a teacher of Modern Singing at the Onemusic Academy in Lugagnano VR and I carry out an intense activity as an arranger, music producer, mixing and Mastering with Pro Tools.
