About Independent Musicians Collective

Independent Musicians Collective is a London-based live band bringing together some of the UK’s finest professional singers and musicians for weddings, private events, corporate events and live shows.

Established in 2017, our last 16 ticketed shows have sold out, with performances at PizzaExpress Live, Soul Mama and The Troubadour, alongside appearances at venues including the O2 Arena, Southbank Centre, Camden Jazz Café and XOYO.

Our members have appeared on BBC TV and radio, ITV’s Britain’s Got Talent and Jazz FM, and have performed with artists including Sam Smith, One Direction, Imogen Heap, Alexandra Burke and Hugh Jackman.

And the Collective? We’re not one fixed line-up. We’re a family of exceptional vocalists and musicians, brought together to create the right live experience for every stage, celebration and event.

One collective. Endless possibilities.
