Lottie Willis

About the show

Catchy, youthful pop bangers from Sunderland’s Lottie Willis following her return with new single Rosie, released in November.

Rosie, a bold and infectious new single that captures both her powerhouse voice and her flair for emotionally charged, youth-driven pop. Released across all DSP’s on Friday 7th November, the track marked the triumphant start of a new run of singles recorded and produced in Sunderland with local producer Connor Jobes (noyou).

Raised in Sunderland, Lottie has been singing since the age of 8 and was an early member of We Make Culture’s Young Musicians Project. Her musical journey has been shaped entirely by the North East – from singing lessons and grassroots gigs to the studio where Rosie and three further singles were written, recorded, mixed and mastered.

Refreshed and backed by a new live band, Lottie draws inspiration from pop and indie songwriters like Nieve Ella, Olivia Rodrigo and Amber Bain (The Japanese House). Already, her music has been spotlighted on Spotify’s Fresh Finds playlist, she has appeared at Kendal Calling, and has supported major acts including Rag’n’Bone Man and Emeli Sandé.

Rosie is the first of four singles recorded in Sunderland with Connor Jobes, with more releases to follow in the coming months. The single marks not just a return, but the beginning of a new era for Lottie Willis – one rooted in Sunderland pride but reaching out to a national audience.
