Manda Rin

Manda Rin (real name Amanda MacKinnon, born 22 March 1977) is a Scottish singer, artist and songwriter. She is the singer and the keyboard player of the Scottish Indie Rock band Bis,[1] and later fronted The Kitchen as well as releasing a solo album. She also co-hosted a radio show on BBC Scotland called "Air".[2]

Rin was the only person ever to appear in two of the line-ups round on Never Mind The Buzzcocks. Her first appearance was never shown: one of the contestants on the programme was Russell Brand and shortly after taping, he became embroiled in a tabloid row after leaving messages on the answerphone of Andrew Sachs for his radio programme, resulting in Brand being banned from the BBC.[3]

Solo career

Rin released solo singles with This Is Fake DIY Records in 2008 for "Guilty Pleasure"[4] and an EP, My DNA Sampler.[5] The next year her EP My DNA was released.[6]

Rin contributed vocals to tracks for the 1998 album Cat Food from J Church[7] and Meister's 2004 I Met The Music.[8] She later teamed up with Hyperbubble on a track for the group's 2011 album Drastic Cinematic and for the 2013 EP Hyperbubble + Manda Rin.
