Georgia Paterson Releases Debut EP ‘Hear Your Voice’
Folk-pop singer-songwriter Georgia Paterson is released her debut EP on February 16th 2015.
The EP, entitled Hear Your Voice, has Georgia looking to
make an impact on the back of the superb reputation she has already built on
the live music scene in South Wales.
Hear Your Voice was produced by Charlie Francis (REM,
The Noisettes). Georgia is no stranger to working with renowned musicians - her
debut single Thought it Might be You being produced by Greg
Haver (Manic Street Preachers, Mel C) and with Catatonia's Aled Richards on
drums. Hear Your Voice also features musicians Jack Egglestone
(Future of the left), Angharad Jenkins (Calan) and Daniel Lawrence (Olion Byw).
She could have been a doctor, a clinical psychologist or a scientist –
but as it is, Georgia has found her home making her own brand of folk-pop,
laced with the fearlessness and confidence of someone who knows just who they
are. Georgia is Welsh and wears her heart on her sleeve - much to the benefit
of her music, with a raw lyrical honesty lying behind the super ear-worm
melodies.
This former BBC Radio Wales Welsh Artist of the Week’s musical
influences are both borrowed and found. Bob Dylan and Simon & Garfunkel
were taken from the older brother who taught her her first chords. Jewel and
The Cranberries, she grabbed onto in her youth and hasn’t let go since. And
later discoveries the Indigo Girls and KT Tunstall - the latter Georgia wasn’t
sure if she wanted to be her or be with her.
On a personal note, Georgia recently married her girlfriend and has been
a supporter of many LGBT events; including playing Cardiff's Big Queer Picnic,
Swindon Pride and the European Capital of Sport Unity Cup 2014. Georgia was
also a finalist (in the top 3) in Heather Peace’s ‘The Thin Line’ tour support
competition.
To co-incide with the release of her EP Georgia has written and recorded
a special track for Valentines Day. Called Not Enough Words,
it was written for her wife. “I was trying to tell her how much I love her and
having that ‘what do I write on the card’ moment”, says Georgia. The video and song can be found by clicking HERE.
