COOKING VINYL SIGN NINA NESBITT

23 November 2016 - Press release

New Album Scheduled for 2017 Under Global Artist Services Deal

Cooking Vinyl has announced the signing of acclaimed Scottish singer/songwriter Nina Nesbitt to a global artist services deal.

The agreement, which was signed yesterday, will see the release of Nina’s new, as-yet-untitled album - the follow up to 2014’s ‘Peroxide’ - in Spring 2017.

Born in Edinburgh Nina started her music career by writing and recording songs in her bedroom and uploading the videos to her own YouTube channel. Ed Sheeran was an early fan of her work and invited her to support him on his European tour and to appear in one of his videos. She subsequently signed to Island Records in 2012 and released several well received Eps alongside her debut album ‘Peroxide’, which garnered widespread critical acclaim.

Rob Collins, Managing Director of Cooking Vinyl said, " I saw Nina play 6 months ago at the Scala and it was one of those moments like seeing Ryan Adams solo when ‘Heartbreaker’ came out. I knew on the spot that I wanted to make a record with her.”

Vicky Dowdall of VDM Music, who manages Nina said, “I'm extremely proud that Nina has signed to Cooking Vinyl. It's sometimes hard for artists when they come out of major labels. They are often overlooked or seen as 'old news' in the Industry, which makes it hard for the artist to move forward and for the manager to get a new deal. Real talent always shines through and that's proven by some of the most successful artists in the world who have been through exactly the same thing. It shows strength and self-belief and Cooking Vinyl spotted Nina's talent straight away. We are very excited about 2017.”

Nina Nesbitt said, “I'm really excited to announce that I'll be putting my next album out on Cooking Vinyl. There are many paths to get to where you want to be and mine has certainly been a challenging and exciting one so far. Working with the Cooking Vinyl team feels like a big step in the right direction and it's going to be a very creative and collaborative experience for myself and my manager and I can't wait to get started.”
