As you are probably aware, ARC Music has undergone a number of key changes in the last few years. The label was acquired by Naxos in 2019 to join forces with a strong distribution network and explore further opportunities. In the same year and shortly after I had my 3rd child, I also made the decision to take a step back to allow for more time for my family. At this time Chris Tomsett was made the CEO of ARC and with the support of Naxos and new management, I am happy to say that the label has continued to do well and is in a stable and expanding position.

Khiyo is a London-based, British-Bangladeshi group formed in 2007. Bassist Ben Heartland joins the co-founders, singer Sohini Alam and multi-instrumentalist Oliver Weeks, as the nucleus of this innovative and inventive ensemble. For Bondona, they and their collective sound are enhanced by the welcome addition of Hassan ‘Moyo’ Mohyeddin on tabla, David Ingamells on drums and Flora Curzon on violin. This growth could be seen as apt development, for evolution is a theme at the very core of Khiyo’s musical ethos. While the band’s roots are deeply interred in Bengali culture and traditions, considering the group’s diverse makeup, it seems natural that they display a bold infusion of influences in their work.
