Holly Nicholson

From raw emotion to a fiery energy proving impossible to ignore, Holly Nicholson is quickly making a name for herself within the music scene. Delivering lyrics that capture a kaleidoscope of emotions and resonate with her listeners, Holly’s sound disrupts expectations by combining bright 80’s inspired pop with aggressive guitars and punchy drums, offering a fresh take on contemporary pop music today.

Despite being new to the music scene, the Manchester-based artist has already earnt the support from BBC Introducing and has featured on Jodie Bryant’s Discover Playlist. Furthermore, Holly has also cultivated a small but dedicated social media following, with her sophomore single ‘seven months’ surpassing 60,000 streams. Her most recent accomplishments include a sold-out show at The Deaf Institute, and off the back of this success, she is set to embark on a co-headline tour at the end of August alongside her fellow northern creatives.

For fans of Taylor Swift, Maisie Peters and Olivia Rodrigo, Holly released her debut EP ‘heartbreak era’ on April 23rd. From the anthemic sound of the title track ‘heartbreak era’, rich with synths & harmonies to the minimalist nature of ‘london’, Holly’s debut bends the rules and introduces a multitude of different sounds to her discography, showcasing the breadth of Holly’s musical innovation and solidifying her status as one of the UK's most exciting emerging talents.
