North-West London talent Lynda Dawn is lighting up the UK R&B scene with a kaleidoscopic sound shaped by her rich musical upbringing. Raised on gospel harmonies in church and the crackle of her parents’ vinyl collection, she fuses soul, funk, jazz, and boogie into nostalgic yet forward-thinking grooves. Her celestial vocals and hypnotic melodies shine on breakout single “Move” and acclaimed debut EP At First Light, which topped BBC 1Xtra’s Best EPs list. With praise from legends like Patrice Rushen and Gilles Peterson, sold-out shows, and 13M+ streams, Dawn is steadily carving out her place in modern soul.
