Have you always wanted to be an artist? When did you get the song writing bug?
Yes i think i always knew i wanted to pursue music from a young age. I was a very creative and imaginative child so i knew I wanted to do something within the arts! It wasn’t until high school where i started to explore songwriting.
How would you describe your sound? Why do you think fans resonate with your music?
My sound is inspired from a lot of 90s rock and pop. I draw heavily from Olivia Rodrigo, Gwen Stefani and Avril Lavigne. I think fans resonate with my music because I’m quite honest and say things that maybe people are too afraid to admit.
Which artist’s music and/or performance, past or present, inspires you today?
I think MARINA, formally known as Marina and the Diamonds. She has always been my biggest inspiration. She makes the art she wants to make and not just for the sake of making it big.
Your debut EP ‘Unsaid’ has just been released! Describe its origin and evolution.
‘unsaid’ was born after a long term relationship of mine ended. It’s filled with heartache, anger and desperation. I feel like it almost covers the stages of grief you experience from a breakup.
What is/are the signature track/s and which is/are your favourite/s to play live?
My favourite track would be Villain. It’s about making someone the villain in order to get over them. But my fave to play live would be Cool Girl! It’s just fun, angry and filled with this energy!
Is there an ALBUM on the drawing board?
Ooo I would love to! But in the distant future!
What tours and events are coming up? What are you looking forward to, and what can the fans expect?
I have an EP Launch on Friday the 13th of September which I’m so excited for!! Fans can expect a spooky, dramatic performance! (I was a theatre kid)
If you could perform with any music artist, Alive or Dead, who would you choose? And why?
Omg it would have to be Harry Styles! That would be an absolute dream! I mean he was my childhood crush and i love his music. I think our vibes would meet.

What are your long-term aspirations as a music artist and how are you progressing towards them?
I want to continue creating music for myself and for the fans. I want to be as real as possible and create art that will last forever.
With that in mind, what piece of advice would you give to an artist starting out?
I’d say take your time creating yourself! I think it’s often drilled into us that you can’t be successful as you get older but that’s silly! Take your time, have a plan and follow it.
What is the best thing about performing to a live audience? What’s been the career highlight so far?
Definitely hearing people sing along! It’s so surreal, I’m like “wait you actually know this?!”
Let’s find out a little more about you quickly:
What is the craziest thing you’ve ever done? I’m not the most adventurous person, I’m a bit boring hahah! I literally can’t think of anything… maybe dying my hair spontaneously?
What is the one topic you can talk about for hours? Vampires
What is the thing you like most about yourself? I like how deeply I feel and experience emotions. (I mean most of the time I hate it, but I’m learning to love it)
