Violet Skies
The word 鈥榗inematic鈥� is too frequently used to describe music with all the evocative power of a tax demand. Violet Skies鈥� music, on the other hand, is too widescreen, sensuous and evocative to be contained by the word.

Centring on Violet’s remarkably nuanced voice, these are songs that could only have been written and recorded now, echoing as they do with a thoroughly modern sensibility that exists between genres. It’s a unique sound enabled by Violet’s insatiable curiosity for the creative opportunities offered by technology. But there is also much heart here. It’s this relationship between the personal and the creative possibilities opened up by digital technology that makes Violet’s music so unique and fascinating.
The fact that she writes melodies a forgetful milkman could whistle helps too, of course.
As Violet herself puts it: “My sound balances a love for artists I grew up with, such as Joni Mitchell, Sting and Paul Simon, and the soundscapes of James Blake and Massive Attack.”
Violet is from Chepstow in Gwent. 2014 saw her play Glastonbury 大象传媒 Introducing Stage, a headline London show, open for Grammy Award winners A Great Big World, and release her EP, 'Dragons'. Violet's tracks have been played by Huw Stephens on Radio 1, Jamie Cullum on Radio 2 and widely supported across 大象传媒 Radio Wales, and she has been featured in Hunger Magazine and NME, and many online blogs.
2015 sees Violet working towards her debut album release, as well as a number of other festival appearances.
