Banners

Formerly known as Raines, the UK songwriter Mike Joseph Nelson connected with Canadian Producer Stephen Kozmeniuk and together they crafted Banners. Influenced by artists ranging from The Beatles to Arcade fire, Mike's triumphant and cinematic piece of pop showcases the artist's ability to writing moving lyrics.

Describing the lead single, "Shine A Light," he said, "The song is about feeling lost at sea and desperately searching for a beacon of light. It's about waiting for that one big wave to finally pull you under while clinging on to that one last ray of hope. It's a song to the person in your life that offers salvation while the storm is raging around you."

Banners grew up singing in the Liverpool Anglican Cathedral Choir and the Liverpool Kop. After singing in cathedrals and concert halls across Europe, he went to work on his own material.
