Please welcome Johnny Sands - a striking new talent from Lancashire .

Combining a delicate piano melody alongside drum machines, analog synths and Sands' distinct vocals, the three-minute slice of pop showcases Johnny's skills as an accomplished producer and singer.

Son of a Parisian jazz musician and his muse, a psychologist who pioneered talking to animals, Johnny grew up immersed in music and arts. After travelling extensively and a brief dalliance as a model, Sands settled in Liverpool and quickly embedded himself in the local music scene curating and promoting gigs as well as working on his own music.

A fruitful collaboration swiftly followed between himself and Swiss producer Dave Berger (Outfit) and after they disbanded, Sands concentrated on his solo efforts and self-released an EP, 'Postcards'. The positive feedback galvanised him and he got to work on a debut album - which 'Arno Arno' is taken from.

Creating fragile soundscapes, Sands' influences range from Air, Neil Young and Serge Gainsbourg to Talk Talk and The Blue Nile.
