Genevieve Dawson

Genevieve Dawson is a songwriter, composer and producer from Scotland now based in south-east London.

Her debut album, Letters I Won’t Send, self produced and recorded in a church, was released in 2020 and was featured on Tom Robinson’s Mixtape, BBC Radio London, Jazz FM, Gideon Coe and Guy Garvey’s BBC 6 Music shows.

Expanding into a more electronic sound-world, her upcoming EP due for release in 2023 explores themes of interconnectedness - set against a backdrop of swelling synths, strings and her distinctive voice. For lovers of Julianna Barwick, Fiona Apple and Aldous Harding.

“I love it. I really, really love it. I can’t wait to hear more.” Guy Garvey, BBC Radio 6 Music

“Memorable and densely textured” - Gideon Coe, BBC Radio 6 Music

“Really beautiful music” Robert Elms, BBC Radio London

“Sounding this good on a debut single, should be, and quite possibly is, a crime against long-suffering musicians everywhere, not that we’re complaining.” For the Rabbits.

“[She] blends folk-roots with spicy infusions of off-kilter improvisation and ambitiously ambiguous harmony. Genevieve’s take is not unlike that of Hejira-era Joni Mitchell - her songwriting knows no upper bounds… see her and her band at any opportunity you get” Bittersweet Symphonies
