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?
Milk, definitely milk, any kind.
2. Please give us an update about – new single, new album, tour dates, new videos?!
Just finished touring with Saint Motel around Europe whilst on until our release my latest single do you relate along with the music video and there’s plenty more to come
3. We live in times of many conspiracy theories. Which, harmless, theory would you wish were true? (For example Dinos living inside Earth or E.T. living in a home in California)
I’ll be honest I’m not clued up on my conspiracy theories, but I really like the dinosaur one
4. What fashion style or brand would best describe your music?
I’d say anything sort of indie or Urban that’s still fitted in style. I’d like to be quite sexy but also cool and I wouldn’t say I’ve ever been a girly girl but I wanna show my femininity
5. Tell us more about your songs! Topics! Message!?
They’re always about things that have happened to me so friendships relationships encounters lessons I’ve learnt I want my music to be the soundtrack to the story of my life and I’m living the movie lol
6. Beside music, do you have any special talents?
I’m quite into musical theatre and I think I can do a good little acting through song performance now and then. And then I’m sort of averagely good at an array of different activities
7. Name 5 things we all should know about you as an artist?!
All my songs are about things that are happening in my life, so even if you ask me what this song is about and I say I don’t know I’m probably covering up a story.
I’m a trained classical guitarist
I always have too much energy and I feel like being on stage is the perfect way to let it out but sometimes I create too much adrenaline. I need to sit down for a while afterwards.
I get really nervous talking between songs, even though I seem really confident when I’m singing. I’m comfortable when I’m singing but as soon as the song ends, I worry about what I’m saying
I’ve only ever played one acoustic guitar for the entire time that I’ve been doing music so 13 years
8. The road so far…. who or what was your biggest support??
My dad has always been my biggest support from the minute. I started playing music. He has been there for as many gigs as possible and knows what’s going on all of the time. He loves Music and I’m so glad that we’ve got to share this journey together.
9. A question you’d like to answer, but never been asked in an interview before?! + Answer pls
I never really get asked about what’s holding me back. I feel like there’s always room to try harder and to be better and everyone’s got their own experiences and triggers and insecurities that hold them back. I think I get asked a lot about what pushes me forward but I don’t get asked about the opposite. Mine in particular are based around insecurities from when I was younger being a little bit different and ADHD and quirky and starting music from a young age and attracting the wrong kinds of attention. I feel like these are the things that give me my biggest imposter syndrome. I’ve gotten better with this over recent years.
