Marianne Leigh, an emerging indie-pop artist and “promising new pop star” (Jodie Bryant, BBC Radio 1), channels the trials of adolescence into her confessional music.
The New Zealand native, now based in London, garnered attention with her BBC Radio 1 playlisted track ‘obsessed’.
“We just found your new favourite rising artist! Marianne Leigh is giving us the angsty pop-punk we’ve always dreamed of” – The Honey Pop.
Before relocating, she toured twice in New Zealand, was playlisted on Air NZ flights and placed in the Top 50 on Australian radio.
Following the rotation of Marianne’s music on BBC Music Introducing and BBC Radio 6, the artist took the stage at BBC Radio’s Lincolnshire Live Festival and London’s Hanwell Hootie Festival.
Described as “one of the most exciting new artists” by BBC radio host Dean Jackson, Marianne’s latest EP ‘fix-me-up’ is a heartfelt project with a pop-rock edge.
Marianne Leigh’s relocation across the globe, driven by her unwavering passion for music, underlines her commitment to her craft.
We can’t wait to see the great music and performances she has coming up – one of them being headlining at Next Door Records Two, in March 2026.
