Virgin Money Emerging Star: Lilla Vargen

Releasing her first music in 2018, fast-rising Irish talent, Lilla Vargen, has already amassed 30 million streams and supported Dermot Kennedy on a huge arena tour. Now, she’s been selected by Virgin Money for their Emerging Stars programme. Talk about making waves.

With two EPs and a number of singles under her belt, Lilla is currently working towards her eagerly anticipated debut album. Known for penning enchanting pop ballads that are both theatrical and candid, Lilla’s music is always filled with emotion and empathy.

The Virgin Money Emerging Stars programme is designed to support young artists as they look
to progress to the next stage of their career amid the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. This next round of Emerging Stars follows on from a successful launch with R‘n’B and soul singer-songwriter, Aaron Taylor, indie-rock band, Mosa Wild and indie-pop artist, DYLAN.

Louise Hodges, Head of Consumer Communications at Virgin Money says: “Our next three
Emerging Stars to join the programme represent the best new talent that the UK has to offer, and we are so thrilled to have them on board, especially given the challenges and setbacks they have all faced in their careers due to the pandemic”.

Prepare to hear a lot more of Lilla Vargen over the coming months. For her, the only way is up.
