Emerging alt-pop artist from the Dorset countryside, Siobhán Winifred, is taking over the HotPress Y&E series this evening live on our Instagram.

Siobhán’s music transforms complex human experiences into poignant musical narratives. If you're a fan of Sam Fender, Boy Genius or Suki Watherhouse then Winifred is right up your alley. The singer just released her latest single ‘Killers’ where she beautifully explores the idea of navigating complicated relationships with narcissistic individuals.
