TWENTY-ONE year-old Ren Harvieu, who hails from Salford, is one of the BBC's Sound Of 2012.
Now she's announced a series of live dates following the January 23 release of her debut single 'Through The Night'.
The single is taken from Ren’s forthcoming debut album of the same name, which is released on April 2.
The release is all the more remarkable considering Ren suffered a terrible accident last summer which left her with a broken back, not knowing if she would ever walk again.
Thankfully after a miraculous recovery, in less than three months, Ren is back on her feet and ready to perform live again. She's also set to record with Johnny Marr after he visited her in hospital.
Ren will be performing solo in Manchester as well as supporting Benjamin Francis Leftwich on his UK tour.
The dates are as follows:
February
8 - Manchester, Ritz HMV Next Big Thing, XFM New Music Award Night
15 - London, The Lexington
20 - Cardiff, The Globe (with Benjamin Francis Leftwich)
21 - Bath, Komedia (with Benjamin Francis Leftwich)
