DRESSED in a bright pink and purple shirt, with pastel coloured hair and oversized specs, Charlotte Brimner stands out amongst the simply dressed array of Scotland’s musicians mulling around in the King Tut's bar.

Hailing from Dundee, the teenager is the frontwoman of the captivating electronic three-member group Be Charlotte.

The group have developed a unique sound mixing percussive beats, keyboard and pedal loops, which they will be bringing to the King Tut’s stage at the first ever TRNSMT festival this weekend.

Charlotte has been writing music since she was 14-years-old and, while she spent some time covering other artists and learning guitar, she never saw a career in the music industry as an option.

“I never planned to do this necessarily. I just enjoyed it and I kept enjoying it and thinking about how I would want it to sound to a listener, which was cool”, she explains.

“When I think about the pressure of writing and being a front woman, it is quite nerve wracking.

“I don’t let it be too in the way of what you’re doing. I like to focus on what I’m doing at the time, whether it’s writing or performing.”

In her relatively short career, Charlotte has achieved feats that some musicians can only dream of.

Having performed everywhere from T in the Park, SXSW in Austin, Texas, Kelburn Garden Party and the recent Scottish Album of the Year Award ceremony, Be Charlotte have firmly established themselves as ones to watch in the Scottish music scene.

And having been chosen as one of a handful of acts to grace the first ever TRNSMT King Tut’s stage, the rest of the year is likely to see group make even more inroads.

The band are looking forward to playing to a crowd not too far from home and have a couple of new tricks up their sleeves since their last Glasgow performance,

"For me, a festival set needs to be a bit different from your own set, you have to make sure people are in involved in it", Charlotte explains.

“I always like it when you feel like you are with the band and with the artists, rather than being separate.

“I’ve been to a lot of festivals so I’ve seen it all different ways. It’s good to go to some first before playing them so you have another perspective.

“Nothing can prepare you for a festival, but it usually it’s quite quick and with TRNSMT it will be a good team around the stage.”

Being a teenage, female frontwoman can’t be easy but Charlotte has decided to power her way through and, as the band name suggests just be Charlotte.

Since coming into the industry, the performer has experienced first hand the obstacles facing young female musicians.

She explains: “I didn’t realise how difficult it really is. I notice it when I do writing sessions because they always assume that I’m going to be rubbish.

“The main thing is getting that out of your head. I read something the other day about the percentage of male writers to women, it’s insane.

“I think maybe because it’s a bit more difficult to get into bands but I hope I can encourage other women to do it. It can’t keep going this way.

“Some people see having a female frontwoman as a selling point but I don’t want to be seen as moaning about it.

“I want to highlight it and change it. It’s not okay to view things as being either male or female but in this industry, with every gig you go to it’s always more men.

“I get annoyed with the whole patronising thing but I just have to deal with it and hope one day they’ll realise they maybe shouldn't have said anything.”

Be Charlotte will play the King Tut's stage at TRNSMT on Friday July 7.
