ABOUT ONETASTE
Producer Dannii Evans and singer Jamie Woon founded OneTaste in December 2004. The night was created to throw a spotlight onto the talent that was arising from the underground London arts scenes. With continuous sell out London events at the Jazz Café & The Bedford in Balham, 2 summer festival tours, the launch of the OneTaste Collective and headline slots in Kensington Garden’s contribution to La Fete De La Musique 09, this tight knit group of artists have fast become one of the UK most noted underground arts collectives.
