‘Little Boots’ is a 24-year-old singer from Blackpool who makes records in her bedroom and posts them on YouTube. Victoria Hesketh has not even released a single yet but such is her following that she has just topped a BBC poll of more than 130 music industry experts, to find the most promising new talent of the year.

They think she is due to take her little boots and follow in the footsteps of the likes of Franz Ferdinand, Keane, Razorlight and the Ting Tings. Her first single is due out in May. Meanwhile Little Boots’ Stuck On Repeat song is available as a free download on iTunes this week.

Quote: “I’m a real person, I just happen to make ridiculously epic pop songs in my bedroom.”

Musical Influences: Annie Lennox, Cyndi Lauper, Abba, Kylie Minogue, Blondie.
