Briefly tell us about your journey as a musician so far?

I went for a couple of singing lessons before auditioning for IATS and there I got a call back for my singing. I also got call backs for modelling and acting and the stage was set for me to perform.

The preparations for IMTA New York was where I realized I needed to up my game and start taking things more seriously.  I met Gino Lee at the Bootcamps and collaborated with him on both my singles.

I am extremely lucky that I had the opportunity to perform at IMTA New York last year July.

My new single has woken up the butterflies again and I am extremely excited about promoting my song and myself.

 Where do you draw your inspiration from as a musician?

Personal experiences.

Your latest single, what was the inspiration behind it?

Being a teenager and talking to my friends realising how many people are stuck in toxic relationships that they do not even realise it is toxic to them.

I have a quiet confidence and am very humble about my talent.

 Do you have any hidden talents?  (i.e. painting, singing, dancing, sports, crafts)

I am an avid equestrian and absolutely love horses.

Do you have any words that you live by?

Work hard in silence and let your success be the noise.
