SUCCESSFUL Suffolk - born musician Cevanne has this week been picked
as one of three local acts to perform on the BBC Introducing Stage
at Latitude Festival this summer.
Along with local bands 'The Cads' and 'These Ghosts', Cevanne
will perform on Lake Stage at Henham Park in front of thousands of
festival goers.
When asked if she would like to perform at the festival yesterday on
BBC Radio Suffolk, Cevanne's reaction was one of shock, excitement and
nerves: "Wow! That would be amazing. That's a big yes! I've been eyeing
up Latitude for a while now - I'll probably be absolutely terrified. It
will mean a lot to me because it's local, but BBC Suffolk Introducing
has done so much for me in recent months. No one has got my music
so well."
A grandchild of Armenian refugees and Lancashire coal workers,
Cevanne's diverse musical tastes certainly reflect her eclectic
background. With influences from a young age that span from Paris to
Scotland and from India to Cuba, Cevanne has used her experiences to
combine beautiful sounds from across the world.
With this in mind, her energetic 'experimental pop' debut album 'Big
Ears', funded by Arts Council and featuring Zoe Rahman and Kuljit
Bhamra MBE, encourages people to open up to the sounds and cultures
that exist around them.
The local artist, whose talents lie in her singing, instrumentals,
composing and dancing, spent her childhood years in Leiston, Aldeburgh
and Thorpeness and was educated at local state schools.
When asked what visitors to Latitude can expect from her set, Cevanne
said: "Fun! A coconut solo, heavy tunes and a reason to listen. Songs
and dances as atomic as Sizewell B."
