What’s your earliest music memory?

In terms of career, it was playing at a Youth ARC gig at Franklin Square a few years ago. I feel like the first ever proper song I wrote in college was called ‘Everlasting Winter’, and there was a guy that came in the music department and did a little video for us and I just played it out in the bush. That music video for me felt really consolidating on the process of writing a song and showing it the way I wanted it to be portrayed. It really helped me gain the confidence to believe I could pursue music.

Did you have any mentors that helped with your music?

I did actually. I found this beautiful lady on Gumtree called Urshula Leung, who is a singing teacher and songwriter. I would just go to her beautiful house each week
