about

S. T. Manville is a singer-songwriter from the Midlands UK. Originally a member of "Death Pop" hooligans Blakfish, Manville went on to release under numerous monikers including FTSE and Get Hot. He has written and produced for huge artists such as Burna Boy, Little Mix, Becky Hill, Biffy Clyro, Mø and Jaykae to name a few. After some time away from the music industry he returned in 2019 with his most personal musical offerings, released under his own name. Since then Manville has clocked up over 3 Million streams, been supported by BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music, BBC Introducing, DIY Mag, i-d Magazine and Discovered Magazine, performed at Dot to Dot and Handmade Festival as well as supported Frank Turner. 2020 saw a sold out UK co-headline tour with Katie Malco and bookings for several UK and European festivals. With a new EP scheduled for later in the year, Manville continues to make a name for himself as one of the most promising new acts around.

"R.E.M. are one of the two bands that first made me want to play guitar. I don't even know if it was play guitar per se, probably more likely just be in a band but I remember listening to them aged 9/10 and thinking "This is what I want to do". My Dad had 'Document' and 'Out Of Time' and I used to sit in the lounge just listening to them on the stereo for hours. When I started playing guitar 'The One I Love' was one of the first things I learnt to play, albeit badly, but still. They're a band that have grown with me throughout my life, and now that I can retrospectively contextualise them they seem even more important than ever. The effect they had on shaping so many other artists that I love is just immense. 'Welcome To The Occupation' was always one of my favourite tracks on 'Document', I love the americana / gothic undertone to the song and I've always been a sucker for a great vocal harmony. I hope I haven't ruined it..."
