Although hard-partying Amy Winehouse may not seem like ideal mentor material for a young schoolgirl, she’s certainly a good person to have as your godmother if you have pop stardom on your mind. So impressed was Amy by 13-year-old Dionne Bromfield’s powerfully soulful singing voice that she made her the first signing on her own record label. Her album came out this autumn and features covers of vintage soul and ‘60s girl group songs. Dionne tells Jenni how she balances concerts and photo shoots with her schoolwork, and she performs live in the studio. Dionne Bromfield’s single Ain’t No Mountain High Enough,is released on December 21 on Lioness Records. The album Introducing Dionne Bromfield is out now.
