Background edit

In June 2014, Bizu was selected by BBC Introducing[7] to perform at Glastonbury Festival.[8] In July 2014, she signed to Epic Records UK.[9] A year later, she released the first singles from her debut album, "Adam & Eve" and "Diamond" which enjoyed support from BBC Radio 1,[10] Radio 2[11] and 1Xtra.[12] and performed at Glastonbury for the second time.[13] In September 2015, following the release of her single "Give Me Love", she also made her TV debut on Later... with Jools Holland.[14] Bizu supported both Rudimental[15] and Foxes[16] on their UK headline tours. In November 2015, Bizu was shortlisted for a Brit Critics' Choice award[17] and won the BBC Music Introducing Award.
