CERIAN
co-founder
Described as "the purest voice on radio" (BBC) and selected as one of Music Republic Magazine’s “ones to watch” in 2019, London singer-songwriter, Cerian, is a multi-instrumentalist described as a cross between Kate Bush, Joni Mitchell and London Grammar, weaving together soaring melodic vocals and rich harmony with poetic lyrics. Singing and playing harp, Cerian is fast gaining a reputation as one of London's most unique artists, with the "voice of an angel" (Music Injection) who also writes darkly moving and beautiful folk-pop songs. Having sung on Radiohead's latest album and with the likes of U2, Thom Yorke, Sam Smith, Imogen Heap, Neneh Cherry and Charlotte Church, she is now taking on the world with her own brand of contemporary dark ethereal folk-pop.
Having released two singles to critical acclaim, her latest single "Caught in the Dark" has already garnered glowing reviews and BBC Radio play, and is the title track of her debut EP, to be released later this year. Cerian is enjoying a successful year, playing Glastonbury Festival, touring the UK and has released a single recorded at Abbey Road Studios as part of the HEARD Collective that she co-founded and runs to promote and support women in music.
“Gorgeous... fantastic... quite sensational... I've described her as ‘the purest voice on radio’, and she really is... absolutely adore that."- Justine Greene (BBC Radio 2, BBC Coventry and Warwickshire)
“Cerian’s voice is simply stunning. A real wow moment. A real find. I am mesmerised.” - Music Republic Magazine)
