Folk-Grunge singer-songwriter, as a versatile muso and songwriter, she works across genres; from Folk to Afro Beats, from Drum n Bass to Rock. She works as a commercial songwriter within the UK and US music industry. As a solo artist, she’s independently toured across the world, and with her band supported ‘Scouting For Girls’ across the UK. In her professional commercial songwriter career, she’s a skilled topliner and lyricist, having had the pleasure of writing with Grammy Award winners. Having attended international songwriting camps across the world, she’s had cuts with SONY, BMG, Love Island US, and Hollyoaks etc.
Her recent release ‘Hiraeth’ is a self-produced, collaborative album, epitomising the longing for home. It is for the in-between places of transit, from one world to another. This is ahead of her next project ‘I’m A Mess’ which, with the band, has been toured over the last year or so.
