In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. Being Cinderella from Into the Woods and watching Britney Spears
Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Shine on Me” Shine On Me because it’s about carrying someone else’s pain— It’s were love and connection become a form of resilience. Even when it hurts, you shine for them, holding space, holding hope.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Playing at NYE and writing Calling Country - Standing on that stage as the sky erupted with fireworks, I wasn’t just performing—I was calling upon thousands of years of songlines. The dance floor will always be a place of radical joy, of freedom.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? Coachella is definitely on the bucket list! Taking my music to that stage—under the desert sky, surrounded by a global audience—would be a dream
