Story

I'm a 22 year old singer-songwriter with a background in musical theatre. I write songs about the life experiences of myself and others, and sometimes about completely made up stories. I love the story-telling element of songwriting and I am inspired by artists like Taylor Swift who tell such incredible stories with their music. I want my music to give people something to relate to. My goal is to be able to play my songs around the world.
