I am now 18 and about to finish school and I have been gigging for almost 4 years. I began writing songs when was just eight, but hopefully my songwriting has greatly improved since then! Generally I have a very acoustic sound as it’s just my voice and the piano; I like keeping things simple as I want my songs to be about the words and what I’m singing about. I can’t really say that one particular artist inspires me but I love listening to singers such as Eva Cassidy, Birdy and Ed Sheeran. When it comes to writing a song I don’t have a plan, normally a song will begin with me singing a random tune in the shower before running downstairs and finishing up on the piano.

I am a budding singer-songwriter from Tunbridge Wells with a great love for music of all genres. My music is predominantly acoustic, with a few folky elements thrown in here and there!  

When I was 14, I asked for (and received) a guitar for Christmas. I started teaching myself on Boxing Day that year!! I must admit, writing music started off as a very personal sideline for me; a way to express emotions; I never felt the need to show anyone what I'd written.  

Now I look forward to showing the public my music and knowing that they enjoy it, and even relate to it. Music has always been one of my greatest passions and, as I'm sure for many others, it's something that will always be a part of my life.  

My main inspirations are Adele, Gabrielle Aplin, Passenger, Bob Dylan, Kate Nash and many more singer songwriters!
