Known for winning British CMA’s Album, Song, and Entertainer of the Year awards in 2021, she's played with The Shires and Tony Hadley. Regular BBC Radio 2 play and support from Bob Harris highlight her rise. Kezia, a Takamine Guitars global artist, had a sold-out tour in 2022, making her a must-see in the UK music scene.
