Fiaa Hamilton had taken a number of steps towards making a career for herself in music, but it was a moment of chance that helped make it a reality. Out for the night near her home in West Sussex, she spotted Rag’n’Bone Man at a bar but was too shy to introduce herself. No matter: her friend did the honours and talked up Fiaa’s talents as a songwriter that he should collaborate. He liked what he heard, leading to the pair meeting up for a session together. The result was ‘One Day’, which was released during lockdown to benefit a selection of children’s charities.
Co-written and co-produced by Fiaa, Jordan Cosmo and Gio Malone, ‘Love War’ kickstarts a frenetic 2024 for Fiaa. She has been embraced by the TikTok community, where she is performing live twice each day and has launched her TikTok LIVE series ‘The Rise Show’. She was also recently invited to play the TikTok LIVE pop-up festival in King’s Cross. But her virtual following is replicated in person too, with her next headline show being at the Notting Hill Arts Club on May 24th.
