Inspired by the likes of Patti Smith, Iggy Pop and The Stooges, The Velvet Underground, Lou Reed, Irma Thomas, The Sonics, The Gories and The Blues, Misty’s eclectic taste has informed a lot of her music to date.
At the age of 15 she recorded her first album and released it on AWAL, in 2011, that went on to sell 60,000 copies.
Now, having signed to Sony Music Label’s “Relentless”, she is set to release the Girlfriend EP on 25th February, a collection of songs that finds her embracing the gritty sound of 70’s rock n roll.
From the EP’s title track – that Zane Lowe made his ‘Next Hype’ record – and its ferocious, lo-fi, sound to the crooning intro of Little Drummer that bursts in to life on a wave of crashing guitars and the soulful lament of Devil, the Girlfriend EP showcases Misty’s unique song-writing talents and musical dexterity and ambition to the full.
