Niamh Cosham-Elam

My name is Niamh Cosham-Elam and I am fifteen years old. I have had a passion for performing arts from the age of five. I first started taking music and drama seriously at the age of eleven when I began writing my own music and wanted to perform. At the age of 14 I began singing publically for a while but stopped due to lack of confidence and insecurity. During this time I started vocal and guitar lessons, choosing to become solo artist. During this period I wrote my first serious song named ‘Unforgiven’ which put me back on track. Christina Perri, Demi Lovato and Paloma Faith are those who inspire me to be original and to put my feelings into my music. In the last 2/3 months I have been doing gigs with AVP who gave me my second chance with my music. I want my music to inspire the next generation to not be scared of standing out and to show them they are capable of anything, despite their age.
