“Songs have always been a huge part of my life. I would listen on the tube going to and from work, in the car on longer journeys, in the kitchen whilst getting meals put together anywhere a speaker or headphones could be incorporated into my activity.
I have never really been into mainstream. The musical productions of The Murder of my Sweet, Stream of Passion, Delain, Within Temptation and Anaria were what got through to me. I had become a huge fan of female fronted symphonic metal. I would wait eagerly for each new release – I couldnt wait to get them on my spotify!
My enthusiasm for singing was really an evolution of this interest. For years I would sing along when ever I could, but it was a phone app that was to open the way to discovering my own creativity! Whilst I loved singing covers to the “families” on the app, I became more and more curious as to how I could create my own sound and style.
I now write my own lyrics, sing my own vocals and produce my own songs. I have to force myself to have a break – I love creating music.
I do this because I want to, because I can”
