How did music come into your life ?
Music has been a massive part of my life since childhood. When I was little I would refuse to sleep unless there was music playing in my room! My Dad was in various bands as I was growing up, and my favourite thing to do on a Saturday would be to sing Oasis’s “Wonder Wall” while he played guitar! As I got older I started listening to artists such as Lene Marlin and Avril Lavigne, which led to Alanis Morissette, Joni Mitchell, Suzanne Vega and Carole King.

 

Can you describe your music ?
I like to think that my music is chilled out folk/pop with lyrics that people can relate to. My favourite review of my music said I had a ‘spine tingling voice and heart stopping lyrics’ wow! Every song really means something to me.

 

 

What makes you feel a Quiksilver Woman ?
Being a Quiksilver Woman makes me feel very independent, confident and capable of anything, and I believe the clothes reflect these feelings. It has enabled me to travel and perform in countries I have never been to before. I feel like I’m on this amazing journey, that’s teaching me so much. Most of all I have been lucky to meet other creative, talented people, some of whom I’m sure will be friends for life.

 

Describe your clothing style :
I love experimenting with my clothing style! I like to look original but also elegant, and that can vary from skinny jeans and a t-shirt to a little dress and high heel shoes. I love styling my hair to match my outfit and mood!

 

What is femininity for you?
I feel my most feminine when I am performing alongside the wonderful Jade Brightwell on violin. I just lose myself in this music, and it’s the one time I feel beautiful!

 

Dress code for a fancy night out ?
Really, I think anything goes as long as it makes you feel special.

 

The quote that defines you?
I’m not sure it defines me but its one of my favourite quotes: “No one can make you feel inferior without your permission.»
Eleanor Roosevelt
