From modest roots in the south of England, Fiaa Hamilton is now going global. Her growing reputation has led to her playing at TikTok’s biggest events in London, Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Rome alongside world stars including Zara Larsson, Demi Lovato andJason Derulo, while BBC Introducing are long-term champions of her talents. It all adds up to a compelling introduction to Fiaa, which is only going to accelerate with today’s release of her debut EP ‘The Epilogue’ via Sound On / BMG. Listen HERE.
Fiaa says, “‘The Epilogue’ is about the painful heartbreak story that is finally coming to an end as I’ve finally learnt to love myself! I hope its cinematic songs will go from social media and into movies and TV. It really had that feel and we kept that in mind when myself and Indigo Kxd wrote the whole EP together.”
That story emerges throughout the EP in distinct chapters – a narrative which Fiaa shares, starting with the acceptance that a relationship is over, before resurfacing stronger with the hope that comes with having learned from the experience and being ready to move on.
She adds about focus track ‘Never Be Us’, “No words, I’m left frozen, 2 hearts, 1 left broken 💔”
Much like the tale behind ‘The Epilogue’, Fiaa Hamilton’s own back story is one of overcoming challenges – and in the process, hopefully inspiring others to face their battles head-on too.
Immersed in music since childhood, Fiaa was just eight-years-old when she became a carer for her mother – a time when songwriting provided her with a therapeutic outlet of her own. Three years later she was in foster care, and music again proved to be important, this time as a way to express her emotions as her life changed so dramatically. By her late teens, she was performing in bars around the south coast.
A chance meeting with Rag’n’Bone Man was her first big break. The pair collaborated on the ‘One Day’ charity single, which helped Fiaasecure a position at Academy of Contemporary Music, where she graduated with a first-class honours degree in songwriting. She continued to progress, next completing a master’s degree at the International College of Music Performance (ICMP) in London. She subsequently joined a girl band, who played big festivals with name artists, before realising she could tell her own stories as a solo artist.
Sharing her truths connected with a growing fan community, the Fiaaless, especially as she attracted big audiences via regular TikTok LIVE events. Despite only releasing a handful of tracks to date, her rise has taken in numerous other highlights such as performing on ‘Good Morning Britain’, having multiple songs feature in ‘Love Island’, being highlighted in The Sun’s Ones To Watch list, and winning multiple TikTok awards.
An epilogue is closure for a story, but with ‘The Epilogue’ EP, Fiaa Hamilton is laying the groundwork for much more to come.
