Ilford-based, 17 year old launches first single, August 7th

Francesca composes ballads, pop and rock songs, draws inspiration from Eva Cassidy and at gigs performs her own original songs along with Eva Cassidyís songs. She gave up her other passion, chess, after winning the British Girlsí Chess Championship in 2000 so she could devote her free time to songwriting, singing and acting. Francesca is related to the great songwriter Irving Berlin.

Demo tracks in MP3 format are available free; please email francescaberlin@aol.com or visit her website at www.francescaberlin.co.uk.

She performs regularly in clubs around London & Essex with her band or sometimes just with an acoustic guitar.

Francesca started working with producer Paul Page three years ago. Francesca first received acclaim with her stunning cover of American Tune (title track of Eva Cassidy’s last album). From this there has been massive interest from Eva Cassidy fans around the world. Francesca has since written 10 new songs and has started work on her debut album.

Francesca launches her debut single on 7th August 2006. Itís a 2 track single featuring two great tracks, Colours Faded and Stronger. Colours Faded is a song about Eva Cassidy. Pre Orders are available for download via Francescaís website.
