Mercy’s Cartel creates genre-bending music, influenced by R&B, hip-hop, and gospel. Mercy is driven to create music that is unique to her experiences with racism, mental health and a turbulent journey through adolescence. Her songwriting skillfully blends soulful melodies with strikingly observational and, witty lyrics. Despite being in the early stages of her career, Mercy has received much critical acclaim and industry support. Currently, she is 1 of 2 black recipients of Abbey Road Studio’s scholarship in Music Production and Audio Engineering. Other support includes plays on Radio 1 (on shows including, Rickey, Melvin and Charlie, and Jack Saunders’ Future Artists show) and support from BBC Introducing West. Support in the press comes from features in prominent publications such as Mixtape Madness, Clash, and Earmilk. Playing live is one of Mercy’s Cartel’s greatest passions. High-energy performances and artistic stage productions have gained great recognition in the Bristol Hip-Hop/RnB scene and has led to supports with artists such as Kojey Radical, Tom Grennan, Tirzah, Etta Bond, Yazmin Lacey, and more. They also secured spots at festivals such as Dot to Dot, Glastonbury, Kendal Calling, and We Out Here and were selected to open up for Ms. Lauryn Hill, Grace Jones, and IDLES at The Downs Festival.
