Editor's note

Sandi Thom, from street performer to studio albums

A Scottish singer-songwriter whose 2006 hit 'I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker' launched her career.

For a quick sense of her, listen to 'I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker' and then something like 'Beatbox'. They frame the shift pretty plainly.

That 2006 single 'I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker' became a chart hit in several countries, but its use of a Bee Gees sample led to a legal dispute that affected her earnings. The song's success from her debut album 'Smile. It Confuses People' gave her a platform, but tracks like 'Beatbox' and 'Little Remedy' show she's worked to move beyond that initial folk-pop sound.

She first gained attention as a street performer in Banff, Scotland. After the 2006 debut, she's released several albums since, including 'The Pink & the Black' in 2008 and 'In Flux' in 2018.
