Gwenno

As an associate of the lady group-loving Pipettes, Gwenno Saunders became popular to discerning pop followers world-wide. The Welsh-born vocalist/musician experienced a rich carrying out existence both before and after she donned a polka dot gown. Given birth to in Cardiff, Wales to a poet dad and a mom who was an associate of the socialist vocal choir, Saunders began her performing lifestyle early. She started dancing at age five, and finally made it completely to NEVADA as an associate of a creation of Michael Flatley’s Lord from the Dance before embracing music. Performing in Welsh, she started recording electro-pop, ultimately launching two EPs (Môr Hud in 2002 and Vodya in 2004) before signing up for up with the Pipettes in 2005. While documenting and touring with them, she discovered time to focus on her very own solo work, launching the U & I mini-album in 2007. The Pipettes experienced lineup adjustments until just Gwenno and her sister Ani had been still left to record their second record, 2010’s Globe vs. the Pipettes. The music group broke up another calendar year and Gwenno finished up playing keyboards for Australian dance action Pnau in 2012 because they toured with Elton John support their joint HELLO to the night time record. That same calendar year, she came back to her Welsh root base for the single EP Ymbelydredd beneath the name Gwenno and shortly began focus on even more solo materials. After launching a string of EPs for the Welsh label Peski that noticed her growing her lo-fi electro-pop audio into something larger and even more amazing, she released her initial solo record, Y Dydd Olaf, in 2014. The record, which is certainly sung completely in Welsh and Cornish and is dependant on Owain Owain’s 1976 sci-fi novel from the same name, sold-out its initial pressing and she was shortly agreed upon to Heavenly Information, which reissued the record in July of 2015.
