Gabrielle Aplin

I find Gabrielle Aplin's path quietly compelling. She built her following the hard way, posting acoustic covers on YouTube before Parlophone signed her in 2012, and her big break came from an unlikely source: that John Lewis Christmas advert cover of 'The Power of Love,' which shot to number one. What strikes me is how she turned a commercial moment into a genuine career rather than a one-off novelty. Coming out of Chippenham with just a piano and a voice, she feels like proof that the slow, self-built route still works. I'd happily put her acoustic catalogue on and let it run.
