Musician

My focus on everything is songwriting, so I write all of my stuff by myself.

I think with how society makes me feel like I should grasp onto the inner strength of me being a woman, and I felt like it was all just very much married into what I'm listening to, what I'm writing, how I'm feeling.

If you write your own lyrics now, and those are the main focus in the EP... people tend to approach it as Americana, which is wild. That's what leads people to it. But it's just whatever people want; as long as they like the music.

I just always really loved music that was coincidentally from the States.

But when I was 12 or 13, I found the acoustic guitar and got into guitar music ultimately, like Black Motorcycle Club, obviously Neil Young, Crosby, Stills and Nash.

I've often been told that if music doesn't work out I could be a comedian.

I always respected country music for its narrative and how it's so solid, you can get the picture in your mind.

I always try to be myself, be it a festival crowd or my own crowd.

I always say the diversity, and culture is the one thing I love the most about the U.S. How you can travel across one borderline and you end up with this whole new set of people that I find super-interesting and great on tour.

The first song I ever wrote that I liked was called 'When You're Alone.'

No one ever wants to be the girl that got her relationship wrong again, but if you let your cynicism take over you risk never falling in love.

I love playing live, and doing big TV shows are exciting.

I don't really get inspired by landscapes that much, it's all people.

Songwriters such as Alanis Morissette write about the constant balance of contradictions, and that's something I adhere to in my life and work.

I'd been gigging since I was 14, doing little competitions and pubs and clubs and old people's homes.

I see magic in conversation and words, and music is purely speaking to others, isn't it?

I'm always up for new places and new locations... I think it's the funnest part about the job.

There's quite a stigma attached to country music in the UK - but I kind of enjoy that.
