Dionne Bromfield

When Amy Winehouse started making grand proclamations to the world that she had an incredibly talented 13-year-old "goddaughter" who could sing like Lauryn Hill and Alicia Keys, you could be forgiven for rolling your eyes and sniggering a bit. But lo and behold - family friend Dionne Bromfield signed up to Amy's label Lioness Records and released a note perfect, sugar pop version of The Shirelles' hit Mama Said. A student at the Sylvia Young Theatre School, Bromfield's debut album Introducing... (2009) came full of retro, 1960s soul, ska and jazz, vamped up and made slick enough for modern, teenage ears. She got more involved with the songwriting and production of second album Good For The Soul (2011) and collaborated with Tinchy Stryder on the track Spinnin' For 2012 (the first official song of the 2012 Olympics). In July, 2011 she duetted with Winehouse at London's Roundhouse in what would be her mentor's last performance before her death. Bromfield later performed Love Is A Losing Game at the MOBO Awards as a tribute.
