I grew up in a small town in Northern Ireland and was very
detached from any mainstream multimedia or any real access to go out and have a
good time. This meant that because I was so distanced from any kind of
opportunities to go out and make something of myself, I had to find my own sound individually. I
sand every day and knew that if I loved it that much it was worth making a go
of it! I always had a desire to perform and broaden my horizon so as soon as I
was 18 I moved to London and got a job as a waitress which, although wasn’t
very great paid for my singing lessons and kept me going whilst I tried to find
a more suitable job for what I wanted to do. I learnt eventually that, you just
have to put yourself out there and go for it! So I went for loads of tedious
auditions which I really didn’t care about but I knew it would be the best
thing to do because not only did it give me practice but also experience. I
then started to get little jobs like backing vocals for some singers and then
one day after lots of backing vocal jobs, I got a job singing in a jazz club
which was perfect for me. I think it was the best job I ever had! I worked
there for 4 months and after not too long got picked up by a record label that
changed my life. It was the best thing that’s ever happened to me and I’ve had
so much fun producing my own songs and working with new and exciting people,
travelling all over the world and experiencing new things. If there’s anything
I would ever recommend it’s to always go for things in life and don’t hang back
because you can achieve anything if you have the right mind set.
