Unbelievably grateful. This is a Monday morning fo Unbelievably grateful. This is a Monday morning for me now; in the studio at Warner Music, doing what I love to do. I distinctly remember listening to my favourite music every day on the way to the office wishing I was somewhere else, anywhere else, making music. Then I’d get to my desk, take out my earphones and get hit by the harsh and depressing reality of a 12+ hour day doing corporate law - possibly the furthest thing from music 🫠

I really believe that the dreams we have are God and our hearts telling us what is possible for our lives if we would just take steps towards it. It’s scary, honestly it can feel embarrassing in the beginning, but it is incredible when you see that dreams can actually come true if you just consistently walk towards them.

I’ve *always* dreamed of this, and now I’m living it. I’m so grateful ❤️

Putting pressure on something can totally sap all the joy and passion out of it. I’ve learnt to do it for the love of the process, and not to focus on the outcome.

It’s so much harder to function when you have ze It’s so much harder to function when you have zero structure. I’m sooo grateful to do what I love and have dreamed of doing forever, and to work for myself and travel and stuff… but dang how do you stop yourself from staying up until 3 am in the morning every morning likeee?

So if you work for yourself or travel a lot, I’d love to get some tips on how you maintain some routine and structure! Help meee ❤️

You made my year. One of the biggest highlights of You made my year. One of the biggest highlights of this year has been seeing all of your flawless faces in the videos you’ve made to my music, I mean look at youuuuu, your beauty, your talent 😩😍 you make me so happy! It’s the DMs, the voice notes, the emails FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD!! For me?! I liiiive for that. Thank you all so much. (Sidenote, this video took foreverrrr to make lol, and sadly it was impossible to fit in all of the clips so this is just a selection!)

On a general world level and family level this year was a madness. That’s a story for a book someday, or a really deep interview. But in terms of doing what I love, this year I released my first EP and I’m really proud of myself for putting out a body of work like that ❤️

My music got placements on Love Island, BT Sports and Sky and I charted for the first time ever on Shazam’s Official Charts and got to number 6 on their Discovery Chart. This year I worked behind the scenes on two huge Christmas ads, recorded at Abbey Road Studios, worked with the incredible Michael Gracey (director of The Greatest Showman), won the PRS Women Make Music Award, got interviewed live on TV on Sky News, got featured in Black Ballad, Refinery29, BBC and Radio Times, interviewed and played across BBC Radio and got on the Welsh A List. And I’m proud of that. It’s scary as heck leaving a really safe career to bet on yourself.

This is just the beginning and I’m really excited to see where God & I (and my amazing, supportive husband) can take things in 2022.
