DIDO WILSON

The first time you hear Dido Wilson sing you’re struck, not just by the crystalline clarity of her voice but by the sense of intimacy that she fosters so effortlessly. Understated yet masterly, the 20-year-old South Londoner’s gossamer tones pull listeners close, casting them as confidantes for musings on love, relationships, and mental health that strike at the very heart of what it is to be human.

Taking inspiration from similarly soulful voices – including Amy Winehouse, Lianne La Havas, and Corrine Bailey Rae – the BRIT School-ed singer-songwriter is rapidly revealing herself to be an enduring talent, and one more than worthy of comparison to her musical heroes.

GINNY LOON

Ginny Loon is a pop and country music-inspired singer-songwriter who grew up in Winterthur (Zürich) and now splits her time between Switzerland and London. Her debut single was released independently on April 29th, 2022 and received rave reviews as well as airtime on radio SRF and many other local Swiss music stations. Ginny spent her youth perfecting her craft and channelling her passion for music in any way possible. She learned to play piano, undertook many years of vocal coaching, and taught herself to play guitar at 13 (thanks to being an original Taylor Swift fan girl!). All of which lead to her participating in “The Voice of Switzerland” in 2014, where she’s managed to make it into her favourite coach ‘Stress’ team. After 1.5 years of making music with a band, playing shows, and writing her own lyrics, Ginny decided to move to the Big Smoke (London) where she focused on her songwriting and attended writing courses at City Academy. Ginny played gigs all across London and would use all and any opportunity to sing including at weddings and open mic nights.
