A Stratford singer has won a coveted slot on a new music stage at one of the UK’s biggest summer festivals this bank holiday weekend.

Denai Moore, 21, is gearing up for her performance on the BBC Introducing stage at the Reading and Leeds Festivals on August 30 to September 1.

After studying at the Institute of Contemporary Music Performance in Kilburn, north London, she signed a deal with indie record label Hard Livings.

She also supported US folk band Iron & Wine after releasing her debut EP “Saudade”.
