A*M*E joins the Eden Sessions

With just five days until the first of Cornwall's Eden Sessions pop princess A*M*E has been added to the line-up as the special guest to Jessie J for both of her Eden Sessions shows.

The south London singer-songwriter (otherwise known as Aminata Kabba) had a number one last month with 'Need U (100%)', a collaboration with Duke Dumont and MNEK. The 18-year-old was born in Freetown, Sierra Leone but moved to Catford when she was eight and burst onto the UK music scene last year with tracks such as 'City Lights', 'Find A Boy' and 'Play The Game Boy'. A*M*E has also had a number one in Korea with a track she wrote for all girl K-Pop band FX. Her next single, entitled 'Heartless', is due to drop next month.

A*M*E said, "I've got a whole new stage show that I've been rehearsing so I'm really excited to have the chance to show it to people and to be supporting Jessie J. Can't wait."

Rita Broe, Eden's Strategic Marketing Director, added, "The addition of A*M*E is the icing on the cake for our two final Sessions of the year. She's already had a number one single, has incredible talent and is obviously set for big things."

A*M*E will be taking to the stage after a new act from Cornwall or Devon has opened the show. Eden is running a competition for acts and Jessie J herself will have the final say on who will play on the main stage at Eden in front of nearly 12,000 people over two nights on Saturday 13th and Sunday 14th July.

Rita Broe, Eden's Strategic Marketing Director, said, "Nile Rodgers is a living legend and it will be a privilege to welcome him to the Sessions. He has written some of the best disco tracks in history as well as producing for some of the greatest artists of all time. This will be an amazing Session!"

This summer's Eden Sessions will their twelfth edition. The Sessions are famed not only for bringing top acts to Cornwall but also for their festival feel, with extra bands and entertainers playing around the site in the run-up to the main event.
