Biography

Since her beginnings as a busker in Camden, Zoё Wren has gone on to perform on stages from the Cambridge Folk Festival to Glasgow Celtic Connections to The Shard. Described as having a voice that is ‘clear and shivers with silver’, she was a winner of the PRS Lynsey de Paul Prize and the Alan Surtees Trust grant, and has been played on BBC Radio 2 on the Bob Harris show. Drawing on influences from the unorthodox harmonies of Joni Mitchell to the honest storytelling of Tracy Chapman, and often giving folk stories a modern update, her sound has been described by Fatea magazine as 'refreshingly bold.' Zoё has appeared on The One Show, BBC One, promoting her work in music and dementia with charity Live Music Now, and on London Live. She was named Laurel Canyon UK's Favourite New Artist of 2018 and shortlisted for Best Female Solo at the NMG Awards. As well as opening for acts such as Chris Leslie of Fairport Convention, Phil Beer of Show of Hands and Ralph McTell she can still be spotted busking, as she now holds a coveted London Underground busking license. Zoё also performs with Jasmine Watkiss as duo Roswell, who won Purbeck Rising 2018 and Fatea’s EP of the Year 2019 award.
