Shannen Bamford - Control [Official Video]

Shannen Bamford is a 20 year old singer-songwriter from Liverpool.

She began playing guitar aged 4, shortly followed by piano and instantly began writing songs. As she progressed she began performing in shows, theatres and won a Liverpool Echo song-writing competition at the age of just 10, which lead to a performance of her song in St Georges Hall.

Growing up she tucked herself away writing, practicing, and waiting for the right time to showcase her music, before bursting onto the music scene in 2010.

Shannen describes her style as a mix of soft, twinkly acoustic tracks and dark atmospheric piano tracks, a style that is fast becoming her trademark sound.

After uploading demo's of her songs onto her Facebook page she caught the attention of many local promoters and has since played a string of gigs and local festivals, had radio play on BBC Merseyside and Juice FM, had collaboration talks with upcoming UK artists such as Lewis Watson, and can count Rebecca Ferguson and Mel C as fans after they saw her performance at the Liverpool Music Awards 2012.
