Yasmin Wilding gunning for success with Can't Wait To Go Home single

Yasmin Wilding, who grew up in Leigh and Hindley and now lives in Ashton-in-Makerfield, has always followed her passion for music and has performed live in multiple venues across the borough.

She is a multi-instrumentalist who can play the guitar, piano, and drums, and after years of working as a music teacher, she released her debut single 'Can't Wait To Go Home' in February.

Writing the track about her time working as a music teacher in the Channel Islands during the pandemic, and the joys of returning home, the song debuted on BBC Radio Manchester's 'Introducing' programme.

The 32-year-old was also included in Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham's shortlist for 'Artist of the Month' in Febraury, which celebrates and shines a light on upcoming artists around the region.

Yasmin said: "The song is a bit tongue-in-cheek, but it's just a celebration of myself and trying to appreciate every moment.

"Music has always been a passion of mine and it's a lovely thing to make your own music. It's a dream to try and make a living out of this."

As well as her experience working as a music teacher, Yasmin also works in the events industry where she performs at special occasions like weddings and birthdays.

With two more singles, 'Halo' and 'Lost Without You' coming out following her debut track, Yasmin has high hopes for her dreams and aims to release a full album worth of music.
