ABOUT

HAILING FROM THE SMALL TOWN OF NORTHWICH, JUST SOUTH OF MANCHESTER, SINGER-SONGWRITER JUNE HOLLAND HAS A VOICE THAT’S BEEN DESCRIBED AS UNIQUE AND DISTINCT WITH BLUESY UNDERTONES AS WARM AS THE MONTH SHE’S NAMED AFTER. RAISED ON THE SOUNDS OF STEVIE WONDER, ETTA JAMES AND ELLA FITZGERALD, SHE BRINGS A MODERN TWIST TO TIMELESS INFLUENCES. BLENDING HEARTFELT VOCALS WITH THE RAW, RELATABLE STORYTELLING OF ARTISTS LIKE PAOLO NUTINI. JUNE TRANSCENDS GENRES OF POP, SOUL, BLUES AND AMERICANA, WHILST AIMING TO BRING BACK MUSIC FROM THE “GOOD OLD DAYS”. WHETHER PERFORMING SOLO OR FRONTING HER BAND, JUNE’S LIVE SHOWS ARE BUILT ON CONNECTION LEAVING AUDIENCES CAPTIVATED BY SOMETHING THAT FEELS NEW YET COMFORTINGLY FAMILIAR…

JUNE QUICKLY CARVED OUT A NAME FOR HERSELF WITH A STEADY STREAM OF RELEASES AND NOTABLE SUPPORT SLOTS FOR EDDI READER, BERNARD BUTLER, REVEREND AND THE MAKERS, THE LOTTERY WINNERS AND TOPLOADER. AMONGST PERFORMING LIVE ON BBC RADIO MANCHESTER, AND GAINING BBC INTRODUCING SUPPORT, ONE OF JUNE’S CAREER HIGHLIGHTS WAS HER UNFORGETTABLE TRUCK FESTIVAL DEBUT WHERE SHE PERFORMED ON THE MAIN STAGE ALONGSIDE BLOSSOMS, CMAT, KASABIAN, NATASHA BEDINGFIELD AND MORE AFTER WINNING THE BAND APP PUBLIC VOTE!

“WITH A SINGULAR SOULFUL VOICE THAT HOLDS AN AUDIENCE SPELLBOUND”

JUNE HAS RELEASED 15 SONGS TO DATE. WITH HER STRONG SOCIAL MEDIA PRESENCE AND SUCCESS WITH RADIO AIRPLAY THESE TRACKS HAVE NOW ACCUMULATED OVER 200,000 STREAMS ON SPOTIFY ALONE.

HER JOURNEY AS AN ARTIST HAS BEEN ENTIRELY SELF-MADE. WITHOUT LABEL BACKING OR FINANCIAL SUPPORT, JUNE TAUGHT HERSELF SONGWRITING, RECORDING, PRODUCTION, MIXING AND MASTERING THROUGH YEARS OF EXPERIMENTATION USING MODEST HOME EQUIPMENT AND ONLINE TUTORIALS.

FOLLOWING HER SERIES OF DIY HOME RELEASES, JUNE LAUNCHED A SUCCESSFUL CROWD-FUNDING CAMPAIGN AT THE END OF 2025 TO RECORD HER DEBUT EP IN A PROFESSIONAL STUDIO. THANKS TO THE SUPPORT OF HER GROWING COMMUNITY, SHE ENTERED AIRTIGHT STUDIOS, MANCHESTER IN JANUARY 2026 TO BRING THE PROJECT TO LIFE. WHILE THE FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN MADE STUDIO RECORDING POSSIBLE, JUNE CHOSE TO RETAIN CREATIVE CONTROL BY PRODUCING THE EP HERSELF, PERSONALLY ARRANGING EVERY VOCAL AND INSTRUMENTAL PART, INCLUDING THE STRINGS AND HORNS SECTIONS ENTIRELY BY EAR.

AFTER RECORDING “OUT OF THE DARKNESS AND INTO THE LIGHT” JUNE PLANNED HER FIRST UK TOUR THIS MAY TO SHARE THE NEW MATERIAL WITH FANS IN NEWCASTLE, LONDON AND MANCHESTER AHEAD OF OFFICIAL RELEASE ON 22.05.2026.

A TALE OF TWO HALVES

THIS EP TAKES LISTENERS ON A JOURNEY THROUGH THE DARKEST CHAPTER OF JUNE’S LIFE, EMERGING INTO THE LIGHT WITH A RENEWED SENSE OF SELF. IT’S A POWERFUL EXPRESSION OF HER ARTISTRY, BLENDING ALT-POP, SOUL, BLUES, AND AMERICANA INTO A DEEPLY PERSONAL SOUND.

OPENING IN DARKNESS, THE FIRST TRACK, “MOULDY ORANGE,” COMES FROM THE HEAVIER HALF OF THE EP. HERE, JUNE REFLECTS ON HER EXPERIENCE FOLLOWING A LATE ADHD DIAGNOSIS, GRIEVING THE MISUNDERSTOOD GIRL SHE ONCE WAS. IN CONTRAST, “SING” FROM THE BRIGHTER SIDE OF THE RECORD, IS A RETRO-SOUL INSPIRED ANTHEM ABOUT FINALLY EMBRACING HER CALLING. BOTH TRACKS WERE RELEASED AS FEATURED SINGLES IN MARCH AND APRIL, RESPECTIVELY.

BEYOND THE MUSIC, JUNE ALSO DESIGNED ALL OF THE ARTWORK FOR THE EP, FEATURED SINGLES AND THE PHYSICAL CD PACKAGING AND INSERT BOOKLET, CONTINUING HER HANDS-ON CREATIVE APPROACH THAT HAS DEFINED HER CAREER.

THE EP IS NOW ON ALL MAJOR STREAMING PLATFORMS WITH A LIMITED RUN OF CDS AVAILABLE TO PURCHASE FROM JUNE’S BANDCAMP PAGE. THE CD INCLUDES THE FOUR NEW TRACKS, ALONG WITH AN EXCLUSIVE BONUS TRACK AVAILABLE ONLY ON PHYSICAL COPIES. YOU CAN HEAD TO THE STORE TAB TO GRAB YOUR COPY NOW.
