Kukua
Name: Kukua Williams
Age: 22 (April 17th)
Hometown: Huddersfield.
How discovered: I was scouted at a music festival in May this year. I was celebrating the end of my exams and it was the last thing I expected to happen – but I’m so glad it did!
Best feature: I would say my best feature is my hair. It took me a while to embrace my natural Afro, but now it’s part of my identity and it is always a talking point.
Fun fact: I love to write. One creative outlet for me is by blogging. I currently write a blog about what it’s like to be mixed race in 2018, and general life experiences growing up being from a mixed heritage background.

Lily
Name: Lily Hutchinson
Age: 19
Hometown: I’m from Perth, Western Australia
How discovered: I was scouted three years ago while hanging out in my friend’s vintage store after a day spent at the beach.
Best feature: My eyes, it’s the first thing anyone notices when they meet me
Fun fact: I was born in Broome, which is a tropical beach resort town at the top of Australia. Then my family and I moved to a closed mining town in the northern goldfields of Western Australia which was nearly 1000 kilometers (620 miles) from the coast. That was a huge change but my favourite childhood memories are from growing up in the outback of Australia.
