Roxanne de Bastion: International Showcase Fund
For:
Folk Alliance 2016 - Roxanne de Bastion
There’s no doubt that Roxanne de Bastion is an incredibly talented artist and she has made a big impression on the music press and radio since she began performing in 2007. She’s also a great inspiration to many new artists, a shining light when it comes to musical independence having released her debut album “The Real Thing” on her own label, Nomad Songs and successfully self-organising numerous international tours. Her insight into the music industry has also led to her being invited to join the board of the FAC in order to represent up-and-coming musicians. Last year, Roxanne founded FM2U, a conference and network specifically from and for independent musicians.
Roxanne de Bastion has been awarded an official showcase performance slot at next year’s Folk Alliance Conference and is being supported by PRS Foundation. With new recordings under her belt, Roxanne is looking to build her team, release her second album and tour extensively in 2016.
