I’m a 17-year-old, self-taught singer/guitarist/songwriter, who learnt to play from YouTube in 2016. The focus of my practice is to express my feelings through lyrics which allow me to voice injustices and find the simplest way to help myself and others understand. The thought of helping others as a young female is my biggest motivation, and my biggest influence to do this has been Taylor Swift. I have opened for Fanny Lumsden’s Country Halls Tour, sung at the Adelaide Festival Theatre and performed solos at Sir Robert Helpmann Theatre, busked at markets, sang at local sporting clubs, performed at birthday parties, attended acoustic guitar gatherings and songwriting workshops, assisted with musical arrangements with Brink Productions and performed at the Naracoorte Fringe Street Party.
