Minna Davies, 17  is a young musician who is proving even if you are from a small town, you can still make a big noise.

Girl Power is something Minna really portrays, with strong and beautiful lyrics and songs you want to hear over and over again. She links to the likes of Florence and The Machine and Kate Nash. Although she is studying hard for her A Levels being in Year 13, she already has recorded a collection of her original songs which is reaching up and over 1000 views on Youtube. She also attends open mic gigs and has had a fair share of main roles in many productions at her school.

Niamh and Amber from the DNA arts team had the chance to interview Minna for the launch of the Next Generation Tour where she told us her main inspiration was Alex Gaskarth from Pop Punk band All Time Low, you can find Minna covering the band's song ‘Six Feet Under The Stars’ on her Youtube Channel.

We also got to hear an exclusive performance of one of Minna’s originals ‘Space In Your Heart’ which left us speechless, and amazed knowing that we have such incredible talent joining us on The Next Generation Tour. Two Bridges by Bwani Junction was her choice of cover and was certainly a fantastic pick as it really showed off her original voice and skill she has on the guitar.
