Demi recorded the album - called Rainbow Remedy - at the Gardyne Theatre Studios after she was awarded the Dundee Musicians’ grant by the city’s Leisure and Culture department.Speaking to Dundee Live earlier this week she said: “When I was in the process of making my album the grant gave me the ability to produce professional work that I could use to further my musical career.“It will also help me showcase my songs on tour this year which I am looking forward to.“It also gave me the chance to have professional art work made up for my album too which was a valuable opportunity also.”And Demi added: “It took longer than should have because couldnt grt into studio due to covid guidelines.“I am so relieved it is finally finished and released 19th May.DundeeLive brings you the latest headlines from Dundee and beyond.But did you know you all the ways you can stay informed with us?You can get our top stories sent straight to your inbox with our daily news updates.
