  • 2pm - Audio Active Talent Showcase presents Hatter

    A trailblazer in the Brighton scene, forever testing the limits to what he can create within the rap domain - Hatter is an undeniable lyricist and experimental producer whose charismatic energy and charm light up when taking to the stage.

    London born, Brighton based, and ready to take over - the Hatzeen's play on words, wicked hooks and widely influenced production style makes for an artist paving his own lane.

    Hatter began making music in his early teens inspired by Grime and UKHH. He honed his skills in rap/production at his local youth centre, and now also works closely with vulnerable youth helping develop their talent.

    Hatter is known for his impressive work rate, having released several singles, projects and freestyles in recent times. Last year saw the release of his collaborative project with producer Saffa Ghorishi, Beggars In The Palace, which received great support and success - including single Seaside Postcard (featuring Arrdee) making way for Hatter’s solo written/produced project that his fans are eager to hear later in the year.

    In his releases to date, Hatter has received support from BBC Radio1Xtra being chosen as the Brighton artist on their Touchdown Tour and performing an on air freestyle on DJ Target’s show, KissFM, Rinse FM, BBCAsianNetwork, FoundationFM, BBC Introducing(and performed a Live Lounge),

    Reprezent, DJEZ, Stereofox, RadioNova (Paris), ThePitLDN, EARMILK, BritishGQ and more.

    He has recently performed at Secret Garden Party on the main stage and in the past he has performed alongside UnknownT, CASisDead, The Manor, Arrdee, Pat and FrankieStew and Harvey Gunn and at other festivals such as Outlook and the The Great Escape Festival- with much more to come from him in 2024 as Hatter paves his own way.
