A music technology student at Coleg Sir Gâr has released her debut single with a follow-up EP expected in May.
Francesca Scott, 17, from Carmarthen, is a blossoming talent in folk and acoustic music with skills in writing, vocals, piano and classical guitar.
Summertime, the name of the single, is a song written, performed and mixed by Francesca who produced the piece as part of her college final major project where her tutor Pasha Alpturer encouraged her to release her work.
Francesca decided to study music technology as well as performance as she enjoyed the two disciplines and wanted to keep her future options open.
The single Summertime is already available on Bandcamp, Spotify Apple Music and Amazon and the EP called Talk to you Later, will also join these major platforms on May 15.
The college’s facilities were key in helping her produce the single and EP using mixing decks and Logic Pro.
Francesca Scott said:
“I’m very excited, it’s the first release I’ve done.
“The song is a gentle flow of nostalgic memories spent on the beach in the summer with friends.
“My tutor Pasha has been amazing in helping and encouraging me to release it and thanks also to Gareth Jenkins for his help in mastering the track.”
Francesca has secured a place at Salford University in September to study music production.
Her single was also featured on the Adam Walton show on BBC Radio Wales.
