Define your genre in five words or less:
Folk rock party mix.
Bearing the terrible clichéd nature of this question, what do you reckon people will say you sound like?
People will think I sound like a girl. I’ve been compared to Joanna Newsom… that ain’t so bad in my books.
What do you love about making music?
I love the way music distracts my soul and offers a few moments of peace.
What do you hate about the music industry?
The politics.
When’s the gig and with who?
Friday August 10, Grace Darling, 9pm, with Sleep Decade and The Bon Scotts.
What inspires or has influenced your music the most?
Poetry, nature, sex, heartache, heartbreak, the illusion of love, spiritual turmoil, loneliness… Just about anything that grips my heart and leaves a mark.
Do you have any record releases to date? What are they? Where can I get them?
My debut album Lavender Prayers is available at Polyester, Thornbury, Collectors Corner and Pure Pop.
What makes you happiest about what you’re doing?
When my music allows me to connect with someone, or myself. That’s what makes me happy.
Describe the worst gig you have ever played.
My worst gig was at this little pub, where a drunken Irish man sat there yelling at me the whole time.
Tell us about the last song you wrote
My newest song is called Fiend Engaged and I wrote it during a thunderstorm. The lyrics remind me of Poe.
When, and why did you start writing music?
I was 17 (six years ago) when I wrote my first song. It was about my girlfriend and I splitting up. No one shall ever hear it!
Where would you like to be in five years?
Touring the world.
How do you stop your pre-gig jitters?
Experience.
