'De'Borah has a wonderful voice that manages to achieve that balance between delicacy and strength' - Simon Evans, BBC Radio Kent
'a delicate and perfect writer' - Ivor Novello Award Winner, Chris Difford (Squeeze)
A 'deep thinker' raised in a musical family, De'Borah's love for music and words surfaces in what double Ivor Novello award-winner Chris Difford calls ‘a delicate and perfect writer’.
In July 2012, she released her second EP entitled ‘A Thousand Tongues’ which has since received airplay on BBC Radio 6 Music , BBC Radio Kent and XFM. Produced by Patrick Wood (Emily and The Woods, Ryan Keen), and with themes ranging from love to conservation, the EP is a re-introduction to the 21-year old South Londoner after a three-year hiatus studying in Brighton.
Performing at festivals such as the Secret Garden Party and venues across London and the South East, De'Borah continually graces the stage with an unmistakable strength and elegance. Like her voice, which Simon Evans (BBC Radio Kent) says ’achieves that balance between delicacy and strength, sounding fragile but actually, it’s not when you start to listen’, De’Borah (pronounced Deh-bor-rah) is not to be taken lightly.
Besides her pin-drop vocals, it is undoubtedly her songs that have inspired audiences. Just a few examples of her passionate but honest lyrical approach can be heard in songs like 'How Far We’ve Come' recorded at Camden’s legendary Roundhouse and 'Off My Skin' recorded for the award-winning Brighton Institute of Modern Music.
A former BRIT School student, she was also awarded the title of ‘Croydon’s Best Unsigned Music Act’ from her hometown in 2009.
