CARYS CALLING
Dark Electro Folk // Newcastle, UK // Haunting.Honest.Mysterious.Edgy.
Playing no instrument allowed for lyric writing and vocals to take priority in songwriting & on stage. Growing up in Allendale, Northumberland shaped and inspired the patience needed for vocal melodies to arrive years later. While waiting, reams and reams of lyrics were stored waiting to be used.
Lead by honest yet mysterious words and a haunting electro vibe, the magical darkness of her world is wrapped up in every song.
The debut single "Soaked My Skin" was released in July 2015. This was played on BBC Introducing, Radio Tyneside and on Amazing Radio on The Other Woman show by Ruth Barnes.
The music video for Soaked My Skin was also nominated for a Ubeat TV award.
2015 saw live shows at The Cluny supporting Dan Whitehouse, The Tynemouth Surfcafe, The Scrumpy Willow & The Singing Kettle and The 02 Academy Newcastle supporting Lily Brooke.
2016 will bring an appearance on Ubeat TV series 4 (broadcast in February), live shows at Riverside Newcastle in February with the other series 4 Ubeat artists, and in March at The Cluny supporting the great band, Twist Helix.
