Beth McCarthy

York-born Beth McCarthy combines pop melody with a rock edge to tell the stories of a twenty-something trying to understand love, friendship, and the feelings that come with it. Beth has one of the loudest voices and influence in the UK LGBTQ+ community and uses her music and art to get it heard. In that respect she takes influence from the likes of Avril Lavigne, Miley Cyrus, P!nk and she shares a lot of the same fan audiences as Fletcher & Reneé Rapp in the UK and across the world.

The entire EP has amassed over 100M views already with the title single being her best performing song to date and has the internet and pop-rock music lovers on edge for what’s next! After a sold out UK tour in June, Beth is touring the UK and EU in her “IDK How To Talk To Girls” tour in May, in a run that is 4x larger than her last tour and that sold out in a matter of days, headlining at Heaven in London.
