YPN Presents: OTTO // Laura Power // Foxxglove

Christmas is on it’s way and we’re super excited to bring you some of the most exciting acoustic based acts coming out of Rhondda Cynon Taff right now.

Fresh from releasing his debut EP Post – we bring you Otto Music. A true story teller, these songs are heartfelt odes to his neighbours, whose stories inspired the EP. Having been played on BBC Radio for the past 5 weeks, this EP is starting to gain the recognition it deserves.

Laura Power brings her unique brand of soulful folk – off the back of releasing her new single ‘Broken’. Already receiving critical acclaim from those at BBC Radio Wales, Laura is set to impress with her powerful vocals and touching lyrics.

Foxxglove completes the bill with a new take on pop. Fusing elements of folk, acoustic and electric pop – expect exciting things from the 2019 Forté Project // Prosiect Forté.
