Emerging from Birmingham's gritty and creative underbelly, Theo — operating under the alias “$witchblade/.” — stands as a premier figure in the city's underground music scene and an undeniable icon in the making. His artistic foundation was poured during the transformative SoundCloud era, a period that championed talent and experimentation over polished industry formulas.

Beginnings and endings. The rebirth of a star. House Of Portway and the emerging unofficial duo team up again to continue their story. The first chapter, "The Farewell" was a grounded and intimate goodbye to Birmingham's beloved duo. For their London debut, the mandate was rebirth: to launch IX & Balli on a new stage and city.
