Sian Cross

Siân Cross was born on a leap day, 29th February 1984. With a beautiful, affecting voice, and honest, direct lyrics, she’s one of Britain’s most exciting singing and songwriting talents. Leap. It’s December 1990. Siân sings in public for the first time at the Locking Primary School's Christmas show. It’s the start of a love affair with performing. She goes on to train in singing, acting and dancing. But music is her passion and it always will be. Leap. Sept 2006. Siân finishes her training and moves to London. She starts writing her own songs. She’s got plenty of life experience to draw on. She lost her father to cancer when she was just a child. And in 2003, she was diagnosed with a tumour herself. When she found it was benign, it felt like a second chance. Nothing was going to stop her being a singer now. Leap. It’s now December 2007. The Royal Albert Hall. An hour ago, Siân Cross sang in a gospel choir in front of five and a half thousand people. At the aftershow party, she talks to Rhys Williams for the first time. Within months, they are an unstoppable songwriting team. Leap. Jan 2009. Studio 2, Abbey Road. Sian and Rhys record ‘As You Wish’ live, backed by cellist Angelique Lihou and singer Nathan Watson. Leap. July 2010. The day before she’s due to sing at her best friend’s wedding, Sian finds herself without a band. She rings round every musician she knows, pulling together a band from scratch. They’d never met, let alone played together. But within seconds of the first song starting, Sian knew they’d pulled it off. Weeks later, they’re playing her songs. A year later, they’re still together. Leap. Now. Siân’s signed with Cat Music Management. She’s back at Abbey Road, recording her first EP 'Leap Year'. It’s going to be released on her birthday, 29th February 2012. The next year’s going to be an exciting one.
