Claudia Kate's music is said to reflect her passion for helping others feel more confident, and "has a sound that sits somewhere between the outspokenness of Kate Nash and the honest musicality of Maggie Rogers".

Supported by BBC Introducing throughout her career, Radio 1's Jess Iszatt described her music as "warming, raw, nostalgic and feel-good".

"I am very, very grateful [for the opportunity] and I cannot wait," the artist said.

"I went to Latitude when I was like 16, and I went to the BBC Introducing stage and I was like, 'One day I will be there.' So this is so cool."

Meanwhile, 26-year-old Porteous - real name Benjamin Porteous-Butler - will take indie funk and rock influences to the festival.

"It will be the best thing in the world and it will be honestly amazing," he said.

"It's like a dream of mine [to play Latitude]. It will be incredible."

Formed in 2018 in reaction to the "over-saturation of electronic music", Steppers Division, from Norfolk, said they would take the Latitude audience "on a journey".

"We try to really show our range, all the energies and emotions and experiences," the group said.

"There will be lots of dancing, lots of really deep, soulful vibes and bits of reggae – there are no limits."

Morgan, who was chosen to perform by BBC Introducing Three Counties and Northants, said she was "super excited".

"If you are a fan of 'girl boss' music and dancing in the woods, then this is the place to be," she said.

"I will be performing songs from my recent EP and you are absolutely going to love it."
