Ani Sandwith is building a following thanks to the strong storytelling in her music and her latest release, Too Close, charts the pain of a relationship breakdown.
She said: “The lyrics and dynamic journey of the song document the painful intimacy of a relationship breakdown and the personal battles that are endured to reach the point of breaking free.

An accomplished piano and guitar player, Ani was one of the performers at Sunderland’s new inner city Waves festival which took place at various venues earlier this month.
Inspired by the classic song-writing style of artists like Carole King and Elton John with modern neo-soul/jazz influences such as Lianne La Havas and early JP Cooper, Ani has been performing since she was 16.
Too Close’was recorded at Miners’ Hall Studios in Silksworth with James Hutchinson who’s worked with the likes of The Lake Poets, Barry Hyde, Hyde and Beast and The Futureheads.
