Norma Jean Martine, Aaron Shanley

Wrapping her rootsy voice around confessionals about love, life and heartbreak - carved from a nous, which belies her 23 years - Norma Jean Martine first learned her craft singing in blues jams in New York. Now based in London, she's honed her sound and written with some notable mainstays; Ed Harcourt, Gita Langley, Steve Booker, Romeo
Stodart from the Magic Numbers, Joel Pott of Athlete and Jake Gosling.

Having supported current favourite Tom Odell at The Electric Ballroom, Norma Jean's next move was to notch up a few more miles on the clock. Following her Nick Mulvey support at London's Social, she made waves at the Montreux Jazz Festival where she played on the opening night bill alongside Lianne La Havas.
