IN THE SPOTLIGHT...<br />
BESSIE TURNER<br />
MUSIC<br />
Bessie Turner is a singer song writer based<br />
in East Anglia.<br />
Her style is an eclectic pastiche of her<br />
musical heroes; she is influenced as much<br />
by Lauryn Hill as she is Dionne Warwick.<br />
Yet it is her own uniqueness – in both her<br />
personality as well as her music – that sets<br />
her apart as an artist and performer. Her<br />
voice rings with a soulfulness that floats<br />
like a cloud; wistful, effortless and above all<br />
charming.<br />
Bessie released her debut single Big Sleep<br />
on her own label in April 2017 to entirely<br />
unexpected acclaim; the song was viewed/<br />
streamed more than 10,000 times in the<br />
first 12 hours of her existence as a recording<br />
artist. With support from BBC Introducing<br />
and after performing a live session for BBC<br />
Introducing in Suffolk the single wound up<br />
with plays on BBC Radio 1 and 6 Music. Six<br />
weeks into her career Bessie Turner was<br />
asked by BBC Introducing to appear at<br />
Latitude festival.<br />
Her second single ‘Words You Say’ was<br />
released In September 2017. It received<br />
its world premier from Jo Wiley on BBC<br />
Radio 2. The song has gone on to be played<br />
extensively by Jo Wiley and Zoe Ball on<br />
BBC Radio-2, Steve Lamacq on BBC Radio<br />
6 Music and Huw Stepehens on BBC Radio<br />
1. In December 2017 Bessie was invited to<br />
perform a filmed live session at London’s<br />
legendary Maida Vale Studios for Jo Wiley<br />
and Radio-2. The following month she<br />
recorded a stripped back set for Steve<br />
Lamacq’s Radio 6 Music show.<br />
Bessie Turner’s debut EP 22:22 was self<br />
released on Don’t Try in April 2018. The<br />
same month she headlined her own run of<br />
UK and EU shows well as supporting Baxter<br />
Dury on selected dates of his tour.<br />
Bessie was invited to headline the BBC<br />
Introducing Stage at Latitude 2018 where<br />
she also performed live on Zoe Ball’s Radio<br />
2 show to millions of listeners worldwide.<br />
In August 2018 she headlined the BBC<br />
Introducing stages at Reading and Leeds<br />
