LIVE SHOW RECAP!

I had my first live show in 2 years at the Lounge Bar in Canterbury, and wow wow wow, what a night it was! I performed all original songs from my new EP, and despite people not knowing the music, there was even an audience singalong for Happiness & Laughter, which absolutely made my year! 

 

If you were there, thank you so much, I cannot tell you how much your support meant to me. As you all know, it's been a very tough couple of years, and I wasn't sure what kind of reception I'd get after being away for so long - suffice to say, the love on the night absolutely blew me away. You guys are awesome!

 

Aside from the singalong, one of the absolute highlights for me was the amount of people who told me after the set that the songs had really resonated with them - that is the highest possible praise that you can receive as an artist, and it's exactly what I want my new music to do, so I was on cloud nine!

 

I can't wait to do it all again soon! Looking forward to seeing you all in the New Year ;)

Photoshoot and BIG GIG NEWS!

It's been a super busy month! I've launched my website and new look socials, had an AMAZING photo shoot with Mad Hatters Studio, and I have my FIRST LIVE SHOW happening at The Lounge Bar & Kitchen in Canterbury in just over a week! There was a time a couple of years ago when I really didn't think that any of this would happen - after my nervous breakdown, I nearly gave up my music career completely. But thanks to my amazing support network, my followers, and my own determination, I decided that I couldn't give the haters the satisfaction! My music is my world, and I'm so happy to be sharing it with you all again.

It's Studio Time...
New Music Incoming!

I'm so excited to get back in the studio so I can finally share my new music with you guys! I've been working with the AMAZING Fuji Hideout on my new project, 'Saving Lilibet',  a deeply personal musical journey that will be relatable to so many of you. After my nervous breakdown in 2020, I could easily have stepped away from music - with all the work that I'd put into my previous projects, the literal blood, sweat, and tears, only to have it all come crashing down the way it did, people might even have expected me to. But I'm not about that life... So instead, I've channeled the inner strength that I found through that horrific time in my life and poured it into my new music, and I really hope that in sharing it, I can lift you up too. This Queen is taking back her crown!
