Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever played at?

Recently played Black Deer Festival with my band, any festival is great though, enjoying playing many great venues in London, including Nambucca/ sound cafe's/ old street records.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

Alanis Morissette has been a continued inspiration since I was a child, I'll always get at least one song into every set if I can


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

I started off as a busker, hammered the streets of London then grew from there. I'm very lucky to be able to do what I do and have built such a great network of venues and musicians since living here.


What's your favourite type of event to play at?

Festivals, people are always in such great spirits and for once its just about great music, phone signal is always pretty dia so people have no choice but to live in the moment and vibe with you, its like one collective energy, really beautiful.
