Courtney Askey

Courtney Askey is a singer-songwriter from Leicester. She begins writing and recording music at the age of fifteen and starts performing live in her hometown at sixteen. Her songs focus on everyday subjects, including going for coffee and doing nothing, rather than the more familiar themes of love and loss. Her lyrics are described as mixing humour with depth, and her voice is noted for its warm, honeyed delivery.

Askey cites Frank Sinatra and The Cure among her influences, alongside a wide range of other music. She also covers songs from across different styles, including Nicki Minaj’s “Super Bass” and Murder by Death’s “Comin’ Home”. Her work aims to cross genres and build a varied body of music.
