Anny Leigh

Hi, I'm another one of those keen beans who deems herself a poet by means of the notes app on her phone and then turns these into tunes to sing. So yeah, singer-songwriter. At the age of 16 I picked up playing the guitar and the piano and soon began writing songs. I'm currently recording my debut album and releasing singles along the way. This was made possible through crowdfunding, with the help of many generous people.
I adore pop songs but I'm a sucker for an electric guitar. You can also never go wrong with some raw fingerpicking to cry to. I share the love of music with my dad and the habit of putting songs on repeat with my mum. I grew up listening to bands from the 70s to the 90s such as U2, Dire Straits and The Cranberries. My main writing influences are (of course) Taylor Swift, Lorde and Lana Del Rey. The dream is to be in a room full of people who know the words to my songs because they mean something to them.
I'm currently based in Edinburgh studying drama.
