Biography

Only Girl is a soulful young artist, emerging from the DIY music scene of South East London, honing her own brand of emotional, understated pop, infused with R&B and gospel melodies. Growing up in a large musical family, with 4 brothers, she attributes this to her early love of singing and performing with her musician dad, inspired by the powerful blues & soul of artists like Janis Joplin & Bob Dylan. Her music began to take shape after an introduction to long term collaborators Zero 7, finding a strong songwriting connection with the duo, who went on to produce many of her early singles & feature her on their own releases. To date Only Girl has has garnered widespread support across BBC Introducing, Spotify, BBC Radio 1 & 2, BBC6 Music and online tastemakers including Fader, Clash, Line of Best Fit, Mahogany & Red Bull Music.
