With support from -
Ellie Nanni is an emerging indie-folk singer-songwriter from London. With an background in classical and jazz piano, and a long-standing affinity for folk music, Ellie blends her intimate knowledge of these styles in her songs, resulting in a soft, acoustic sound.
She has a complex relationship with her own emotions, having spent years intellectualising them for fear of vulnerability. As a result, she places a particular emphasis on lyricism, because her songs are the only medium she feels safe being emotionally exposed. As she uses her music to process some of her more difficult experiences, she especially finds solace in her listeners feeling similar emotions simultaneously through her writing and live performances.
Annabel Rose is a Bristol-based harpist, producer, and composer creating ambient soundscapes that merge with electronic folk influences. Inspired by artists like Björk, Underscores, and Grouper, her music blends organic harp melodies with manipulated harp and layered vocals into new textural sounds. From a young age, Annabel’s journey in music began with learning the piano and has been complimented by the harp in the last 5 years. Her music explores themes of love, nature and feeling alive and develops a unique approach to the harp and through her music. Whilst combining the organic sound of the harp with electronic processing, she continues to experiment pushing the boundaries of the harp’s traditional sound. Annabel has recently begun mixing her music via a surround sound environment, using immersive audio techniques in the studio and in live performances. Within her music it is most important that audiences feel immersed yet grounded.
