"[Binky] The rising star is definitely one to keep an eye out for”

Binky 

The British singer realised her raw talent at the age of 15 after studying the triple threat of music, dance & drama from an early age. Binky is a huge fan of all types of music, both singing and writing in various genres, but has decided to concentrate her core attention to Country music quoting, “The first time I sang a country song it was like putting on the most perfect pair of shoes, I haven’t looked back since”.

Her debut single Fireflies is one of last year’s most instant and unforgettable introductory singles. An up-tempo, anthemic sing along, Fireflies was a joyous slice of summer filled optimism to brighten even the breeziest of Autumnal evenings.

Following the success of the critically-acclaimed ‘Fireflies’, which has achieved just shy of 275,000 streams on Spotify, as well as charting at number 8 on the iTunes charts, Binky came back with another powerful pop-infused anthem, ‘Jackie D’.

With an attitude and confidence exuding from this Kelsea Ballerini-esque, energy-charged foot- stomper, Binky continued her trend of slickly produced infectious tunes packed full of lyrical and melodic hooks, tailored perfectly for the live shows. ‘Jackie D’ was destined to become a real fan favourite in UK country with its ‘girl power’ rebellious style, great depth and the passionate, emotional delivery from Binky.

With her love for country rock music she aspires to some of the most successful artists in the industry, including Maren Morris, Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, Dolly Parton and Stevie Nicks. Using her diverse ability to meld all types of music together. She has created an EP, which is due to be released in Spring 2019, with the hope that it has something everyone will love. “I feel it is important to be different and have a mixture of moods in an album. Every song I write is personal to me and expresses a particular time in my life. With such powerful affects music can create today, I want to share my love for music with the world. If I can make a difference to just one person I would have succeeded in my eyes.”
