1. Thank you very much for your time! Before we introduce your new release to our readers – what kind of drink would you recommend to sip on while they listen to your new music?
Something strong and sweet, darling. Like a whiskey sour with a cherry on top. A little bold, a little beautiful, and guaranteed to make you feel things. That’s the kind of energy “Weird Club” brings. Sip it, blast the song, and let yourself go full glam and unfiltered.
2. Please give us an update about – new single, new album, tour dates, new videos?!
YES! So, “Weird Club” just dropped and I’m absolutely buzzing about it. It’s a celebration of all the weird, wonderful bits that make us who we are.
Album-wise, I’m deep in the creative zone again. No official title yet, but it’s coming… and it’s fierce. Tour dates? Watch this space. I had a wild time touring Ireland last year and I’m itching to bring the chaos to more cities. And YES, a full video for “Weird Club” is on the way. Think glitter, rebellion, and total unapologetic joy.
3. We live in times of many conspiracy theories. Which harmless theory would you wish were true?
I’m obsessed with the idea that unicorns are real and just hiding really well. I mean, if I were a unicorn and saw the state of the world, I’d probably stay hidden too. But imagine if they were secretly among us, spreading magic and sass from the shadows? I’d totally join that club.
4. What fashion style or brand would best describe your music?
Bold. Unapologetic. Structured chaos. I’d say Mugler on a glitter bender, or Alexander McQueen in their most emotionally theatrical era. McQueen’s work has this haunting elegance; beautiful, sharp, and defiant. That’s what I want my sound to feel like: a sonic runway where you walk through heartbreak in slow motion, looking iconic.
5. Tell us more about your songs! Topics! Message!?
I write about my life and the experiences I’ve been through, because I know so many others have lived them too. It’s powerful to turn those feelings into music, like putting emotion into a bottle and letting it explode in a chorus.
My songs are about identity, resilience, love, heartbreak – and above all, owning the parts of yourself the world tried to dim. “Weird Club” is for the loud, the soft, the misfits, and the magic-makers. You’re not alone, and you never were.
6. Besides music, do you have any special talents?
I recently climbed literal mountains for a travel show and definitely cried on camera, but hey, I made it to the top! I also discovered I have a weirdly amazing talent for making rank food in the wild taste good. Give me a tin of beans, a twig, and some desperation, and I’ll serve you something borderline gourmet. Survival, but make it delicious.
7. Name 5 things we all should know about you as an artist?!
1. My debut album didn’t just hit No. 1 in Ireland – it beat Beyoncé… by 50% more in sales. Wild.
2. I turn feelings into fireworks. If it doesn’t hit you in the heart and make you want to strut, it’s not done yet.
3. I design my own stage outfits. Glamour with guts, always.
4. I’m very passionate about snacks backstage. VERY.
5. My shows are like emotional nightclubs: you’ll laugh, cry, and possibly levitate.
8. The road so far… who or what was your biggest support??
My manager Caroline Downey has been my absolute rock. She saw the real me before I did, and helped me stop trying to fit into boxes I was never meant for.
And my sister Sarah. She’s my best friend, my biggest cheerleader, and the one who’ll tell me the truth, even when I don’t want to hear it. She’s family, but she’s also a vibe.
9. A question you’d like to answer, but never been asked in an interview before?! + Answer please:
Q: If your music were a mythical creature, what would it be?
A: A fire-breathing disco phoenix, rising from heartbreak with glitter wings and eyeliner sharp enough to cut glass.
