Edinburgh’s Bow Anderson is fast becoming Scotland’s next big singer-songwriter. The follow up to her viral hit 20s, which clocked-up over 7 million streams on Spotify alone, is the masterful pop song Mama Said co-written with her friend Jamie Scott about growing up and learning from your mistakes. The central focus: her first serious relationship which turned ‘toxic’
As a teenager, Anderson was a promising athlete, training in competitive trampolining before an accident put a premature end to her career. It was during her rehabilitation that she focused on making music and moved to London.
Fast forward to present day, and she’s toured with the likes of Mimi Webb, Ella Eyre and Tom Walker, sold out headline dates in her native Edinburgh and London, won the Best Pop Act accolade at the prestigious Scottish Music Awards last year and she’s been championed by BBC Radio 1. Plenty of live and festival slots are in the calendar, listen to Mama Said https://umg.lnk.to/MamaSaid
