In your own words:

I’m an 18-year-old singer-songwriter based in Exeter, although I was born in Hampshire and moved to Devon when I was around nine.

Music became important to me through playing guitar with my dad during visits back to Hampshire, which is where I first discovered how much I loved performing.

My sound sits around indie-pop and rock, with influences including James Marriott, The Streets, Arthur Hill, Lovejoy, Rio Romeo and Alec Benjamin. I also love show tunes, which has shaped the way I think about storytelling and stage presence.

I’ve only recently started releasing my own music, so I’m still finding the direction that feels most natural. The rockier songs I’m working on now are especially exciting to me.

My latest release, Bittersweet, came out on 7 July 2026. It explores limerence and longing, themes I often return to in my writing. I put a lot of myself into my lyrics, but I also like leaving space for listeners to find their own meaning.

I perform solo with acoustic or electric guitar and can provide my own live setup. I’m currently looking for opportunities across Devon, building on recent performances.

I like to write about how I feel because it helps me connect more with my audience. I genuinely pour my soul into my lyrics, and that’s why I love sharing them so much.
