MoreNancy Williams is a teenage singer-songwriter from Merthyr Tydfil. Nancy is only 18 years old yet manages to craft lyrics into her songwriting which would make you believe she's lived a thousand life times.
Nancy was discovered by Film Director Jonny Owen, a Merthyr man himself, through a facebook video of Nancy that was uploaded by Jonny's childhood friend – Nancy's father. Jonny paired Nancy with esteemed Irish producer Darren Morrisey (Morrisey & Marshall) who helped Nancy craft her first songs for the world to hear.
Nancy's debut EP is the literal definition of 'coming-of-age.' In September 2024, Nancy left her family home in Merthyr and moved to London – where she began acting college.
Shortly after moving to the capital, Nancy released her first ever song – i don't wanna grow up. The perfect soundtrack to that earth trembling moment for any 18 year old who has been through the process of leaving home and moving to the big city. The release received significant editorial support from Apple Music (New Music Daily, New In Alternative + #2 on In My Room), an add at #2 on Fresh Finds UK + IE (Spotify) and a first ever radio play from Huw Stephens on BBC Radio 6 Music.
All four tracks on the EP were recorded at Paul Weller's studio in Surrey. Paul allowed Nancy the use of his studio after hearing the tracks (via Jonny) and immediately fell in love with the music. The EP's lead single – i don't wanna grow up – was also mixed at Peter Gabriel's Real World Studios in Bath.
Nancy is fluent in the Welsh language and a proud Welshwoman. Her celtic roots will play a huge role in the campaign creative.
