A young singer songwriter is hoping to hit new highs after being accepted at the Brit School.

Sixteen-year-old Natalia Haddock, who is currently sitting her GCSE's at Nonsuch, has had more than 110,000 hits on her Youtube channel and hopes to learn her craft studying music at the Croydon-based school.

She said: "I'm so excited. I've been doing a lot of gigs recently, but it's hard to find places who will let a 16 year old play. The White Lion in Streatham have been good to me."

"People say I'm a cross between Jessie J and Taylor Swift, which sounds a bit weird, but it's definitely a compliment."

Last year, Cher Lloyd shared one of miss Haddock's covers of her her song With your love, which got her thousands of hits on her site.
