Current Projects
Nat is currently working with the following acts, producing various new music for release on Ambiel Music and Dance Regime
The latest addition to Ambiel Music: “I’m Just Happy” – The London based collective alias of Leon Rhymes and Pikey Esquire, a positive embrace of the culture and sounds from hip-hop, street art and urban living. Combining jaw-dropping live beatbox from UK Beatbox finalist Pikey Esquire and infectious lyricism from Leon Rhymes – “I’m Just Happy” take a retrospective of back-to-street-corner basics, armed only with their god-given gift-of-gab and a positive attitude. These two mainstays of award-winning hip-hop crew “Queens English,” have used their ethos for good times to develop an unparalleled live show that has taken them to extensive venues throughout London and around the UK. Nat and the duo have began work on new material set for summer 2012.
Kyra Ja’e is an urban singer/songwriter from Ipswich, Suffolk. Her contemporary and stylish approach to bass heavy pop music signifies her as a unique emerging artist for 2012.

She began singing as a child and recorded her first demo at the age of 11. Kyra was spotted by local reggae artist YT and alongside producer Nat Clarkson was amazed by her performance. She continued to perform her modern, soulful vocals on a number of mixtapes with local grime producers and MC’s and has appeared at several local festivals and shows. After joining Ambiel Music officially in 2010, Kyra and producer NJC have collaborated on several pop tracks and are continuing to develop music for debut album.
