At pointblank music school, supporting and elevating our students beyond the classroom is at the heart of what we do; and pointblank Recordings (PBR) is a key part of that mission. As our very own in-house label, PBR gives students a real platform to share their music with the world. Today, we’re excited to highlight the latest releases from our pointblank Recording artists.
Light The Fire – Leah Haworth
Leah is a singer-songwriter from Lancashire known for her delicate, acoustic ballads and emotional honesty. She joined pointblank Music School to study the BA (Hons) Music Business degree before signing to pointblank Recordings in 2022.
Her latest single, ‘Light The Fire’, is a feel-good track for all demographics, blending Leah’s signature acoustic warmth with an uplifting, full-hearted energy that’s impossible not to smile at. The song gently unfolds from an intimate, singer-songwriter moment into a bright, hopeful chorus that feels like stepping into sunlight – a celebration of comfort, connection, and letting yourself be lifted by someone else’s presence. It’s one of Leah’s most inviting and emotionally open releases yet.

Obsessed – Quincy Telus
pointblank Online student and PBR artist Quincy returns with his latest single, ‘Obsessed’, a track made for long drives and late-night playlists. Packed with lush synths, grungy guitars, and smooth harmonies, it carries an emotional richness that really connects, with Quincy’s grounded vocal delivery setting the tone.
The track was produced by John Fortis, one of our amazing lecturers with credits including Ellie Goulding, Lana Del Rey, and Olly Murs. This is a great example of the kind of industry opportunities our students get through pointblank.

Riverside – Translator (timefive Remix)
Italian-born, London-based producer timefive (the project of our student, Tiziano Bitto) brings a fresh new take to Translator’s ‘Riverside’ with his latest remix, released on pointblank Recordings. Tiziano, currently studying the BA (Hons) Music Production & Sound Engineering degree, blends melodic house and cinematic soundscapes to create his signature style.
‘Riverside’ was originally released in 2022 on pointblank Recordings and went on to be featured on BBC Three Counties and Northants Radio as Track of the Week, alongside artists like Four Tet and Connie Constance. In this new remix, timefive adds a slightly darker, moodier vibe while still honouring the spirit of the original. He also recently collaborated with Quincy on his latest single, ‘Find You’, showing how naturally creative links form within the pointblank community.
