What was the first band or artist you fell in love with?
I was obsessed with Ace Of Base when I was about 10 years old but the band I fell most in love with ever is Death Cab For Cutie. Their songs have gotten me through everything. That's true love.
Did you ever form a band when you were younger and if so, what did they sound like?
Oh my god when I was very young and the Spice Girls were a thing my friends and I had a girl band. We called ourselves Desire and we made up dance routines. We were making up songs and thought we were going to take over the world - from our tiny middle of nowhere countryside school!
What has been your primary inspiration in writing music?
Escape. I grew up in a very small town and I loved music from a young age. It felt like there were no opportunities to have a career in that area and that it was just a dream. I definitely started writing due to feeling isolated. I needed it. It made me feel something and let me think about a future being elsewhere.
What is a song you wish you had written yourself?
Change by Banks.
If there was any moment in your career you could relive, what would it be?
I supported Ellie Goulding in the very early Blooms days. I played to about 5000 people and it was just such a dream come true.
Which artist would you most love to share a stage with?
I wrote a music bucket list years ago and one of the things I wrote was "support Jessie Ware on tour" so I guess that's my answer!
And is there an artist you would love to collaborate with as well?
James Blake. Getting in a studio with him would be the ultimate goal.
Where do you see yourself in five years time?
I have no idea. The world is still a mess. Who knows where any of us will be. I'm a mama now so living somewhere that works for my family, being creative and feeling happy and whole. Maybe working in another area of music - management or PR.
