简介
Millie is as off the wall off the stage as she is on it. A bubbly and bright singer-songwriter from South London who writes punchy, punky, bouncy, rock pop songs that get you on your feet and moving. Scratch the surface though and lyrically her tough upbringing and life experiences can be felt too. Millie began her long musical journey at the age of five, experimenting with piano and passing grade five on the clarinet at 11. A keen singer from an early age she performed in local choirs and theatre productions before receiving, as a 16th birthday gift, six months of vocal coaching with Richard Charlton who is credited with coaching the likes of Ed Sheeran, Jason Perry and Leanne Mitchell. Since then Millie has been in various bands, most notably Second Sense who performed together for six years, supporting Alabama 3 and Subsource and regularly playing to 300 or more fans at The Clapham Grand. Second Sense disbanded in 2011, but Millie continued developing her vocal and song writing skills in new ways, emerging as a solo singer-songwriter in 2012. Millie’s music is clearly eclectic and this is a fact she happily celebrates. “I like to think my music is full of energy and dexterity – a colourful clash of genres incorporating everything from rock and soul to ska and folk. I draw inspiration from many different artists; James Brown, Aretha Franklin, Skunk Anansie, Pink, The Who, Rolling Stones, Reel Big Fish and The Ramones are just a few of my favourites. I was brought up listening to classical, theatre, rock, rhythm and blues, hip hop and more because my parents are both music lovers so it all plays a part in the way I write.” The last two years has seen Millie grow a substantial fan base across the UK, release an EP and tour as part of The Brought To You Tour – a collection of unsigned artists - in 2013, cementing her reputation as a hardworking and recognisable force. Millie’s work is exploding in all directions – radio shows, magazines, new recordings, gigs all over the UK and her first show in Paris leading to more being booked for Spring 2015! Several online radio stations such as Shoreditch, Croydon, London Unsigned, Krystal and Blast Radio have interviewed her, featured her music and used her to co-host shows. BBC Norfolk featured her track ‘Raw’ on their show hosted by Sophie Little and more recently Millie was invited to ‘The Punk Show’ on Team Rock Radio to be interviewed by Matt Stocks and play a live acoustic set. Online magazines have also taken a huge interest in her music, with Niji Magazine, Music vs The World, Listen To This Band and Barton Quandary having written reviews on Millie’s EP. Niji Magazine have also interviewed and featured her in their publication on several occasions. They also became the press sponsor for The Brought To You Tour in 2013 and follow Millie as ‘one to watch’. This year has seen Millie playing at several festivals across the UK including BoomTown with The Snare, the Popped Music stage for Upton Fab Festival in Worcester, Rhondda Rocks in Wales, the Greater Manchester Fringe Festival, Angel Fest and Two Counties Festival in Kent as well as K-Fest in Lowestoft. She has since played Scroobius Pip’s club night ‘We.Are.Lizards” at Proud in Camden, “Matt Horne Presents” with Bloc Party at The Queen Of Hoxton and was personally asked to support Bleach Blood (Jamie Jazz – King Blues) at their Christmas show in Camden. Millie is currently featured on charity single “It’s Christmas Time” for Taylor Made Dreams and has a single due for release in early 2015 called “Paper Castles” for homeless charities. A live band EP is due for release early 2015. “If you see her name on gig flyers around the UK, go and check her out … She’s a great artist, and one to watch” – Matt Stocks, “The Punk Show” Team Rock Radio / Metal Hammer / Classic Rock “Ridic talented” – Jamie Jazz (Bleach Blood, The King Blues) “This lady is a star in the making, and if you catch her early enough you’ll get to gloat that you were there at the beginning.” – ListenToThisBand.com “She’s got the makings of a successful musician, and I’d love to be there saying “I told you so!” when she is more widely recognised!” – MusicvsTheWorld.wordpress.com Millie has the ability to get you up and dancing with her cross-genre punk and rocking back beats, or bring you to your knees with her heart-felt ballads. Her attention to detail is phenomenal, her stage presence electric – If you haven’t listened to her yet, you need to.
