Ever listen to an artist and immediately think "why amn't I hearing this person everywhere?!". Well, 22 year old singer songwriter, Shauna Mackin is a perfect example. Shauna is originally from Dublin, but because of her passion for music and, I suppose, the booming industry in the UK, it was only a matter of time before she was sent packing to Manchester to pursue a degree in music.
Shauna's music is clearly influenced by a lot of old-folk type artists, but in terms of modern styles it seems that the likes of Imelda May would be making a massive dent in Shauna's sound.
Set to release her latest single, Rita in March, Shauna is definitely an artist I'm extremely excited about. This girl has a beautiful tone to her voice that would ultimately out her in a soul category, but it sort of rests on a slight rustic sound that you expect to hear from a more folk-y song. This girl is one to watch- I certainly can't wait to hear this single.
