The Wretched Pearls are a six-piece alternative rock band based in Liverpool, UK. The Music has a very broad range of influences that span from Sigur Ros, Mogwai, My Brightest Diamond, Jeff Buckley, Florence and the Machine, Massive Attack, Irish & Norwegian fold music, to the musics of Vivaldi and Chopin.
Creole first realised her passion and talent for singing in the nineties, aping her then idols, Mary J Blige, Jill Scott, Mariah Carey, Brandy & Angie Stone on her tape-deck/karaoke combo machine!
Since then she has performed alongside Zico & Galak of Ampasound, heavy-hitting dub/jungle duo Hylu & Jago and featured on Alabama 3's critically acclaimed "Shoplifting for Jesus". In studio sessions with prolific producers such as Formula, Philly Driven, Eric Electric, Sleepy Time Ghost and Jahtari she has honed her own unique blend of roots reggae, neo-soul inflected dubby grime.
Studying Creative Writing and the Arts in both England and the U.S. Creole’s lyrics are poetic and literary; a dedicated socialist she tackles the hardships and trials of life in multicultural London. Having had no formal vocal training Creole’s singing style is raw and untouched.

As the music progressed and became more heavier and faster DJ-DS was lucky enough to be mates with resident MC of the Hard Dock When he was 14 wich made him lucky enough to be able to witness the Underground Dance scene from an early age.it was seeing people like Top Buzz, Randall, Ratpack, MC Bassman, LTJ Bukem in amongst dj's such as Slipmatt, Stu Allen, Demand, that made him decide that jungle was the way forward, as the music had progressed over the last few years and taken a few different directions. His main influences are dj's and MC's like Randall, LTJ Bukem, Dj Hype Top Buzz, Mark XTC, MC Raw, MC Bassman MC Spyda and early jungle producers like Remarc, Dream Team, Marvelous Cain and most of the release on Suburban Base Records Now DJ-DS with his years of experience has fast become one of the countrys best drum and bass Dj's playing alongside everyone thats big in the scene over the years
