Aida Heston is a singer-songwriter from Hove, East Sussex. She has been singing, writing and performing since the age of 16. Her songwriting style is inspired by the likes of Leonard Cohen, Garth Brooks, Sara Bareilles, Lizzy McAlpine, Billy Joel, Roy Orbison, Dolly Parton and Taylor Swift etc. Aida writes songs which move people, which make people stop, think and feel, not in a browbeating kind of way, but instead inspire you to maybe look at things in a slightly different way.

"An offshoot of Leonard Cohen and Neil Diamond. I love it!"
- Cerys Mathews, BBC 6 Music

“ A seductive, acoustic, outpouring of hope in a dark place, Gabriel Moreno looks to the UK’s future with a humble, sanguine spark of light”
- Mitch Mosk, Atwood Magazine, New York

“What sets Gabriel Moreno apart from his contemporaries, however, is his ever-intriguing usage of the English language to address socio-political issues.”
(Loz Etheridge, God Is In The TV)

“It is the tonal breath of Scott Walker, the application of Leonard Cohen, and the beauty, even undercover mischief in the form of sexuality that was given credence by the subtly of the likes of Patti Smith, that makes Gabriel Moreno stand out in a field of observational greats.”
(Ian D.Hall, Liverpool Sound and Vision)
