Game changing new artist Gateway Girl is to drop her much anticipated official debut single 'Delusional' on September 26th via Riot Noise Recordings. The Sussex born rising star is the first artist to come through the imprint’s new talent development agency and has already received early recognition from the likes of BBC Introducing for her staple electronic indie pop sound which shines through in this debut release. ​

Three superb electronic remixes from contemporary greats La.ura and Zed Bias will all follow, as will some bold moves that leverage the latest Web3 technology to create a multidimensional experience for her fans.

Gateway Girl is not only a talented musician who can play saxophone, drums and the ukulele, but also a unique vocalist, songwriter and producer. She started truly connecting with her fans post-pandemic, after collaborating with a variety of producers to deepen her skills which resulted in her deciding to pursue music full time, creating an entire album documenting her healing journey. That project resonated profoundly with her audience and she is now set to blaze a trail by simultaneously releasing music in both Web2 and Web3 spaces. 

Passionate about the potential of Web3 as a fairer, more inclusive platform for artists, she’s on a mission to bring this technology to the masses. As an artist with ADD who finds large crowds challenging, Web3 provides an opportunity for her to engage and connect with her audience in meaningful ways that would otherwise not be possible. 

Gateway Girl is also exploring what performance looks like for someone who dreams of being on stage but feels uncomfortable in traditional performance settings. This journey is leading her to redefine what it means to be a performer in the modern age, finding innovative ways to share her music without compromising her comfort.

Beyond music, Gateway Girl is a talented animator and illustrator who creates NFTs and art covers, developing the persona of her Gateway Girl alter ego. Her work has caught the attention of crypto and Web3 communities, leading to collaborations with figures like Alex Masmej and building a vibrant community on platforms like Sound.xyz. She will tap into this exciting new world and bypass tradition in a way that allows her to connect more directly with fans, develop superfans, release minted songs, offer exclusive perks, behind the scenes access, merchandise, discounted tickets, real world privileges and so much more, that leads to a much closer engagement between artist and fans. 

Her fantastic official debut single 'Delusional' is a gorgeously catchy and summery hit with tender, story telling vocals racing along over quick grooves. Balearic guitar chords and tight drums power it along and help it make a lasting emotional impact. Gateway Girl's vocals are vulnerable yet powerful and delivered with great control throughout this most spellbinding single. 

This is the start of what is sure to be a superb journey for Gateway Girl and the fans who join her along the way for this most innovative and rewarding of rides. She’s not just a musician; she’s a visionary artist, shaping the future of how music is made, shared, and experienced.
