British country-pop sensation who just released a new album less than two weeks ago. The launch of that project came just six days after having performed at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. She has already released three music videos for songs from her new album and her official YouTube channel overall has a combined total of more than 1.6 million video views. She has live shows on five consecutive days coming up at the end of November in the UK and had also performed in Nashville in September in conjunction with AmericanaFest. She is also a member of CMT’s 2024 “Next Women of Country” class AND is the co-founder of an initiative aimed at promoting mental health and well-being in the music industry. Before rising to country stardom, she performed as a backing singer and dancer for Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams. Plus, she has done acting work, including alongside household names like Glenn Close and Christian Slater in film and stage.
“I live in Nashville, and I travel back and forth to England a lot.”
“I've made my Opry debut, CMT's Next Women of Country… charted on country radio.”
“The journey has felt long because I've been coming back and forth for like six or seven years but in essence I've only been here, lived here, a year and a half and I think as soon as I moved here things started happening really quickly.”
“All these people work on different albums with bigger artists than me like Megan Moroney and Lainey Wilson, like, a lot of them have either written, been in rooms with, so, that's been cool to kind of learn off them and be in their company.”
“I think as an artist you write things because you need to write things to kind of heal or to kind of understand yourself a little bit better and this allowed me to do that and that's been just very soul given. I think music, to be honest, is like one of the biggest healers.”
“The pandemic, like, it's the creatives that lifted everybody's spirits whether they were getting paid or not. They do it for the love of the art.”
“I've been signed to a major label and there's like a system that you have to go through and that just doesn't work for me.”
“Being independent is way harder and trying to find your audience is difficult with, like, finding hooks and beating algorithms. I just think authenticity wins every time.”
“It wasn't lost on me that I have been in Nashville a year and a half, and I got to play the Opry within nine months. That just doesn't happen. It doesn't happen. And some people have been here forever and, I just I felt so, so insanely lucky and grateful.”
“I was just kind of really horrified of the lack of support that, you know, I was with a major label at the time and kind of called them out in Forbes magazine, which, they wasn't really happy about, but it needed to be done.”
“I’m a big justice person. I’ve always fought against the bullies, and I was just like, ‘This is ridiculous, are you joking me?’ And I wanted to ruffle some feathers. I think that's my personality, you know? I really don't care what you think of me. I think as long as I can help towards doing the right thing because if someone is not going to do it, if I wasn’t going to do it, who is?”
