This subject passes neither WP:GNG nor WP:MUSICBIO. Notability within this BLP seems to be supported in part by allmusic.com, a source that is not reliable enough to base notability (see here). Otherwise, rather substantial coverage in the local Chad seems based heavily in publicity for an upcoming concert, and the Telegraph interview actually seems to cover a festival promoted by this subject, with most discussion about someone else entirely. A nomination for a biennial music award called "Musician of the Year" certainly does not on its own establish any notability. Though this might approach WP:BASIC requirements, I believe they fall short of demonstrating notability; the fact that this musician doesn't pass at all under WP:MUSICBIO, the most relevant BLP guideline, is particularly indicative of a musician's lack of notability.

• Keep. The article has had to be stubbed down because of a copyright violation which is why the current version doesn't explain the notability very well, but she has won a Classical Brit award [1] which I would have thought would qualify as a major music award per WP:MUSICBIO. For coverage, she was the subject of an episode of The South Bank Show [2], and has coverage from several mainstream news sources [3][4][5] [6][7][8], including widespread coverage of her decision to release her album free [9][10][11][12][13] [14][15][16], and there are reviews in GNews.
