TOTT #4: LULU JAMES

It’s been great to watch the rise of Lulu James since I last wrote about her for The Tipping Point back in May. Having also featured her in my SB.TV ‘Ones To Watch’ column I remember being packed into the Cluny for her EP launch, surprised by how compelling and confident she was as a performer who seemed to pretty much come out of nowhere, splicing up her deep and almost trance inducing performances with doses of her friendly North-East dialect.

Fast forward to now and she’s conquered so much over the past eight months, having performed on the main stage at Evolution in Newcastle, to now being signed to one of the most exciting UK independents Black Butter Records, touring with Rudimental, and just yesterday I opened Dazed & Confused to find her amongst the likes of Darq E Freaker, RoxXxan and Unicorn Kid as Puma’s Class of ’13. She is undoubtedly one of the most exciting artists coming out of the North East’s UK Bass music, Electronic and Urban scenes (choose your own pigeonhole) and we can’t wait to see where next year takes her!
