HEADLINE SHOWS IN LONDON AND LEEDS HAVE JUST BEEN ANNOUNCED
“The most viral busker in the UK.” – The Times
“Over a sugar-sweet melody, Liv’s candied vocals sing of the turmoil that follows a breakup, yet thanks to the uplifting beats leaves listeners hopeful for the future.” – Wonderland
“Music too good to be missed.” – FAULT Magazine
| The 23-year-old British busking sensation Liv Harland made an intoxicating introduction with her official debut single ‘Letters’. The song flew to #5 on the iTunes chart, landed on Apple Music’s New In Pop playlist, earned BBC Introducing in York’s Record of the Week, and featured on Wonderland’s Wonderlist alongside global names Dominic Fike and Popcaan. It built upon her emotionally engaging busking moments which have gone massively viral, resulting in 1.5 million followers and 28.6 million likes on TikTok. Now Liv unveils the new acoustic version of ‘Letters’, which strips back the original’s production to little more than piano accompaniment. ‘Letters’ now fully exposes the touching power of Liv’s words and the purity of her voice, an enchanting combination of soul, skill and strength that’s winning the hearts of a blossoming following. Listen HERE. The original version of the song was a collaboration with Cutfather (Little Mix, Becky Hill), Moa Pettersson Hammar (Ava Max, Sam Feldt), Scott Quinn (KSI), and Jeppe London. It earned Liv praise from Wonderland for “doing it for the heartbroken girls.” A big part of Liv’s rise has been the soarway success of her livestreams. Those shows often attract an audience big enough to fill The O2 in London and she achieved three of TikTok’s Top 10 live moments of 2021 – making her the only female artist on the list, as well as the only artist to have multiple moments on a list that features global names such as Ed Sheeran, KSI and Coldplay. She is making a similar impact at YouTube, most notably with a video of her halting a song to help a homeless man. That moment of kindness resulted in Liv joining the good karma club, as the clip was greeted by a phenomenal public reaction and is now approaching 48 million views. This May will see Liv play two of her first conventional headline shows. She hits London’s Courtyard Theatre on May 25th before heading to Headrow House in Leeds on May 28th. Tickets are available HERE. Originally from York, Liv started busking while employed as a full-time childcare worker. She quickly created enough of a buzz to make busking and live-streaming her new career. As her viral moments came thick and fast, she started picking up attention from Radio 1, BBC Breakfast, LadBible, The Guardian, The Times, NME and more. Liv released a cover of Dani & Lizzy’s ‘Dancing In The Sky’ on Spotify and then introduced her artist career with the self-released ‘What A Lie’, which has exceeded 2 million streams. |
