What project(s) are you currently working on?
I’ve just written a brand new quirky song entitled ‘Toby Keith‘ and recorded the vocals this week in London with Tim Prottey Jones and he also produced the track. I’m also in the process of organising a venue to perform my songs for the first time with a live band. So rehearsals are underway.
What inspired you to pursue a career in music and when did you know?
My love of music happened at a very young age. My mum sang and my brother played drums in the school band. When I was aged 6 my mother and I were waiting for my brother to finish his band rehearsal when one of the girl singers in the band said she couldn’t sing in the show at the weekend. The teacher asked if anyone else knew the song, nobody put their hand up so I did. My mum tried to make me put my hand down, but the teacher had already clocked me and humoured me by offering the mic. I took that mic and sang my little heart out. I was in the school band heeee!
If you weren’t pursuing a career in music, what would you be doing for a living?
I would probably have my own stage school teaching dance or I’d be a dance choreographer. Dancing is my biggest passion.
