Dionne Julia Bromfield (born 1 February 1996) is an English singer, songwriter and television presenter. She first attracted public attention as a teenager after being signed in 2009 to Lioness Records, the label associated with her godmother Amy Winehouse. Bromfield's early work revived classic soul and Motown influences for a young audience while she built a presence as a live performer and media personality.

Throughout this period Bromfield toured, made television appearances and recorded singles with guest artists.
