FROM MEDICINE TO MUSIC – MEET THE SINGER-SONGWRITER WITH A MEDICAL DEGREE WHOSE LATEST SINGLE IS INSPIRED BY THE PANDEMIC

A singer-songwriter from London has released a brand new single – right after gaining her medical degree.

Amy Steele, a 24-year-old futuristic soul singer, has balanced the world of music and medicine for the last five years – and can now be considered a doctor.

With her sights fully set on her music, Dr Steele has been working with a wealth of international producers to create a record that reflects her artistry and who she is.

Amy’s latest release is the next in a series of covers she has been working on during lockdown. Her cover of the beautiful ‘Slow Up’, originally performed by soul singer Jacob Banks, honours the original whilst reiterating the powerful message of the song to her growing fan base.

“‘Slow Up’ is a track that reminds us to stay positive and not to let the perception of the world change us or harden us with its prejudice,” Amy said. “We’ve had a difficult year of social injustice and seen the way the world can corrupt innocence but ‘Slow Up’ is a reminder to stay strong and true to who we are.”
