Holly is a BRIT Rising Star-winning singer-songwriter from Grantham, near Nottingham. Her first success came during lockdown, when she was nominated for an Ivor Novello and came runner-up in the BBC Sound of 2021. Her raw and honest songwriting built up a following which led to her supporting artists like Olivia Rodrigo and Taylor Swift on tour. Her second album 'Cruel World' will be released on the 10th April.
