A BBC Music Introducing artist, who started making music in her bedroom during the Covid-19 pandemic, is heading on a six-week European tour with a top Norwegian artist.

Nieve Ella, from Albrighton, started sending her music to the BBC in 2022 and has since signed with a record label.

She will support Girl In Red on the 21-date European leg of her Doing It Again tour.

“Every time I think about it, I just smile,” she said.

The tour begins on 1 September and will visit countries including Germany, Switzerland and Norway.

Venues include the OVO Wembley Arena, London’s second-largest indoor arena, and 3Arena Dublin, which has a capacity of 13,000.

“It [Dublin] was the first ever arena, or even show, that I went to,” said Nieve.

“I was like 14 years old, my mum took me to watch Sam Smith, I was standing there like wow, this is what I want to do.

“I feel like I realised that in that moment, and then, we get to play it.”

Nieve, who has 97,000 followers on TikTok, is no stranger to big crowds.

She played on the BBC Music Introducing stage at Glastonbury last year and has performed at more than 20 festivals this year.

“It’s exciting because a big majority of these people won’t know who I am,” she told BBC Radio Shropshire.

“It’s kind of a challenge where I’m like, okay, I get to show you my music and kind of try and win you over a bit.

“It really motivates me.”

Nieve also recently announced her third EP, Watch It Ache and Bleed, which releases on 17 October.
