Georgie

Georgie is only 18 yet her sound has the assurance and depth of someone who’s been around music forever. So no surprise then when you learn that she grew up totally immersed in music and surrounded by musicians. Her father Eddie starred in the 70’s rock band Mr Big so Georgie was learning all about live gigs and life on the road when her mates were still trying to get past the doormen.

Her own music (and she is fabulously talented) owes much to this heritage, but also to Jake her older brother who co-writes and produces Georgie’s songs. Georgie has already completed a tour with the band Tempa Tempa, performing live for over 15,000 people and her solo career is now really kicking off with a first album due for release in August 2007.

There is a freshness - an innocence if you like - to her tone and when she’s delivering lyrics like ‘I’m feeling a little bit lost right now’ and ‘Easy lovin you’, they are genuinely moving. Her unique tonal quality is complemented by the wholly natural vibe she projects in live performances and carries into the recording studio. This warmth allows her to create a strong and immediate connection with her audience, especially when she’s playing live.

Georgie is from an Italian/English background and whilst the passion in her songs probably owe something to her Italian blood, much of the imagery in her work is drawn from the Oxfordshire countryside where she grew up with brother Jake, who has co-written and produced her first album. An extraordinarily talented musician himself, Jake is a former member of the famous Brit School where his fellow students included Amy Winehouse and Katie Mellua. If Georgie is ‘feeling a little bit lost right now’, it’s because she’s moving fast and she’s going to be going a long way
