Introspective, Nostalgic, Diaristic
Describe the moment you knew that you wanted to pursue music:
One of my earliest memories is being obsessed with a DVD of Queen performing live, I used to watch it on repeat. Then, around the age of nine, my brother introduced me to Green Day - watching Billie Joe Armstrong perform really solidified my dream of being an artist.
What moment are you most proud of in your music journey so far?
Last year, I performed at Reading & Leeds, a festival I've been going to with my friends since I was 16. Since then, it's been a big goal of mine to play there, so it was a nice one to tick off the bucket list.
Your next music/career goal:
Release my debut album. Do a UK headline tour.

Words you live by:
I don't have a specific quote, but I think it's important to be polite to people, be kind to animals, just try to leave things better than you found them.

The third single from debut album, 'Old Home,' will be released on July 9th. The first two singles, 'Edge of St James's' and 'I'll Be Here When You're Back,' are out now.
