Filled with subtle tones, uplifting pace, and her own intoxicating voice at the helm, her latest release is just what we have come to expect from her since she began.

-
What was the first instrument you learned to play?
Piano
What was the first album you remember owning?
A-ha – Hunting High and Low
Did you ever form a band when you were younger and if so, what did they sound like?
No – Flaming June was my first band.
What is a song you wish you had written yourself?
P J Harvey – Sheela-na-gig
What has been the most thrilling moment about creating your own music?
I love the feeling I get when I’m writing a song that I think expresses something authentic and also when a track gets radio play – especially when “Rumpelstiltskin” was played on BBC 6 Radio.
And what about the most frustrating part?
That creativity is often given value through plays, views and streams. That it’s difficult to break even on a release as a DIY artist.
Which artist would you most love to share a stage with?
First Aid Kit
Where do you see yourself in five years time?
I’ve just started producing my own songs rather than using studios and I am looking forward to developing this over the next few years.
