A RISING teenage singing star from Kenilworth is releasing her debut EP.
Nineteen year-old Amelia Oliver began sharing covers of her songs on TikTok three years ago with clips of herself playing guitar and singing along.
Since then the former Kenilworth School pupil has built up a following of over 7,500 followers from across the world, including Canada, the USA and Spain.
Inspired by artists such as Lizzy McAlpine and Phoebe Bridgers, she blends contemporary storytelling with indie/folk-pop influences.
Amelia said: “Drawing from my personal experiences as an autistic individual and navigating recovery of an eating disorder, songwriting has become a powerful outlet for expressing emotions that can often be difficult to put into words. Whilst my music doesn’t shy away from life’s challenges, its focus is ultimately one of hope, growth, and self-acceptance.”
Recently, Ameila achieved several milestones. She has been a featured Track of the Week for BBC CWR Introducing. She is a recipient of NextGen Funding from Youth Music UK, helping transition from home recordings into a professional studio environment, and she also won the Let It Be Live music competition, earning the opportunity to perform as part of a newly formed band at the iconic HMV Empire Coventry.
Her debut EP ‘Constellation Prize’ is released on Friday (July 17).
Amelia will also be performing at an intimate EP launch event at The Station House in Kenilworth on Tuesday August 4 at 7pm.
