Short description of your band and your music? I write songs that intertwine classical myths and personal stories with R&B pop neo-soul influences. It's intimate and epic, tunes of hopefulness and hopelessness.
What are you hoping to achieve from showcasing at BIGSOUND? Previously I've performed with a full band but BIGSOUND will be the first time my new set up of keys, drums and some SPD action. Very excited to perform this new evolution in my sound.

Why should people come and see you from amongst the many cool bands at BIGSOUND?  I'm an actress by profession and my music is another form of performance and storytelling for me. If you've ever been in love, you should come.
