Tell us about your journey – how did you end up creating and making music as a full-time career?<\/strong><\/p>\nI have always performed in some way growing up. I studied dance then acting and wanted to be the next\u00a0 Kate Winslet. Although music was always around me and I would spend hours as a child belting out Whitney or Bjork to anyone who would listen It was not until a few years back \u00a0I actually started professionally. Amy Winehouse\u2019s \u2018 Back to Black\u2019 gave me the kick I needed to sing in public. After earning my stripes in both palaces and dives I decided to write myself and find my own sound.<\/p>\n
You seem pretty style-savvy. Who are your fashion icons and who did you admire and want to dress like as you were growing up?<\/strong><\/p>\nI was in awe of women performers who effortlessly found their own style through taking risks. As a child women like Gwen Stephani, Roisin Murphy and Madonna all got me hitting up my mums wardrobe and creating \u2018space age vintage street style\u2019.<\/p>\n
