Hailing from east London, singer/songwriter Purple Ferdinand's silky vocals have drawn in fans including Emeli Sandé, Chasing Grace and Stooshe.

Having clocked over 40,000 views on her YouTube videos, the soulful guitar strumming singer – who's also a tattoo artist – has received praise from both Radio 1 and MTV and has a sound which draws comparisons to Lianne La Havas, Kate Nash and Amy Winehouse. Ferdinand's The Dragonfly EP proved an exciting taster of what's to come when her debut album drops in the near future.
