Okay, before we kick things off, I’d like to quickly say that I am friends with Lauren, and I think they are frankly awesome. They are insanely clever and funny and I’m glad to know them. That in mind, and as a quick piece of disclosure, despite our prior friendship, I fully intend for this feature to be as honest and forthright as I’m capable of producing. So now that we’ve got that out of the way let me tell you a little about the creator. So who is Loz from Loztalkz? The simple answer is that they are an Ayrshire based YouTuber who creates videos focused on a variety of different media. Tha ..read more

Shelby Merry is incredibly talented, and as such wears many hats, she’s the author of engaging science fiction novel Second Planet, one of the composers for the TBS and later Adult Swim series Final Space, and most relevant to why we are here today, a singer/songwriter and musician. This isn’t the first time I’ve reviewed the artist either, and if you’re interested in checking out more then feel free to click here. It’s fair to say however, that I am a huge fan of her music, so with that in mind and because I’m trying to get things back on track after the recent rebrand I’m going to be reachin ..read more

So I’ve been following Ashley on Instagram for over a year now, and I’ve been consistently impressed by their talent, creativity and the range of their portfolio. They say quite succinctly that they are a pastel artist, but to say that’s all they are is like saying Liberace was only mildly into Candelabras. Okay I’ll be honest. I don’t know how that line made it past the edit. I guess I hope people will find it endearing? But my point is that Ashley has tremendous range and potential as an artist and I wanted to make that clear upfront. So a little bit more about the artist, they are based in ..read more

So I had the good pleasure to meet Moss, the Glasgow based artist behind Script Kitty Sketch while supporting Tori B Bearly at a Comic Con event in Kilmacolm earlier this month. I was immediately enamoured with their style, and the diverse nature of their portfolio. I seriously love that I get to spotlight such talented creators. If I had to pin down Moss’s particular style, I’d say it’s cute meets macabre, with a heaping helping of that LGBT+ stuff that you know we love here on Indie Light. So Moss sells a little bit of everything, such as Stickers, which include my personal favourite, the Pr ..read more

Asia Chow is a Los Angeles based indie-folk singer/songwriter and musician, as well as a former model. She draws from her English major to produce powerful lyrics that are impactful to the listener. Today I’ll be reviewing her single ‘Days Unchanged’ which was released December 6th 2023.  ‘Days Unchanged’ opens with a fast paced, vibrant melody, an infusion of acoustic stringwork that provides the perfect support for Chow’s beautiful voice, the overall cadence of the tune reminds me of ‘Dust in the Wind’ by Kansas, but faster, and moderately less melancholic. This is a very emotional trac ..read more

So with the recent rebrand came a renewed sense of purpose and direction, specifically I remembered that I created this platform not just as a place to write, completely free from restrictions, censorship and oversight but also to boost and spotlight other creatives, and to give them a platform to broadcast themselves.  So with that in mind I’d like to introduce you to Kerrie Fleming, an Ayrshire based artist and graphic designer. Again, a quick bit of disclosure, I know Kerrie through Tori B Bearly, and through our mutual attendance to Unity League, I would also consider us friends, but ..read more

So here we have it, another one of those wacky Promo Spot features, where I wax lyrical about one of the many crazy talented artists, crafters or creators I have the pleasure of coming across while running this site. Today I’ll be talking about Tori B Bearly, the personal brand of an Ayrshire based artist and graphic designer.  I will add, as the more observant among you may already know, Tori B Bearly has been a contributor to this platform for several years, and following our recent rebrand has taken an even greater role in the production of design elements for the site. I’ll touch on t ..read more

Today I’ll be reviewing her single ‘Enough’ which was released October 13th 2023. ‘Enough’ opens with big building tones that create a deep atmospheric backing to Amahla’s sensational and breathtaking vocals. You feel the depth and sincerity and empathy and pain in ever ..read more
