Three years ago, the 23 year old from Stroud quit Oxford University during the second year of a degree course in Russian to concentrate on her musical career.

The move looks to be paying off, as at the end of November she and her band completed a successful two-month tour of America.

Inspired by the likes of Eva Cassidy, Joni Mitchell and James Taylor, Hattie possesses a beautifully pure voice that is full of emotion. Her music has been played on TV, Radio 1, Radio 2 and 6 Music.

    Last July, she released her second album Young Runaway. The launch was in front of an audience of 350 in her hometown and she followed that with another sell-out concert on December 8.

    Hattie’s songs have a depth, breadth and intelligence that belie her tender years.

    Her guitar and keyboard skills are accomplished, accurate and controlled, but the stand out is her voice, which has a clarity and resonance of the finest crystal.
