I’ve always had a passion for writing and performing since very young. Music, especially singing, has always been a major part of my life. I was in school choirs all the time and as soon as I was old enough, competed in the Eisteddfod with writing, acting, choirs and on one occasion as a solo singer!

As a child, I was exposed to older music from my Mum and Dad, from their time and before. It was mainly mainstream Motown and Pop culture. I listened to The Drifters, Elton John, Diana Ross and The Supremes to name a few. I listened to Pop artists from my generation too; when I was younger I loved Britney Spears and S Club 7!

 I got my very own radio and C.D’s for the first time when I was ten. I started listening to Kerrang and my knowledge of music genres began to grow again from there. I became a Christian when I was about ten or eleven after going to a Church youth group and have been going to Christian Summer Camps one week a year since I was thirteen which are amazing.

Following some advice off one of my former music teachers, I went out one day when I was about thirteen to various charity shops, all over where I lived and bought dozens of the C.D’s that come free with newspapers. I bought one in every genre that I could find and still have them all. It went from there really and I’ve loved discovering new music and new bands/solo artists ever since.

I’m a cheerleader thanks to my identical twin sister Rachael. I tried karate with her before and it never stuck but when I tried this I was hooked! I’ve done tap and ballet in the past but now I’m a street and break dancer.

I tried to set up a school newspaper quite a while ago, was also in an alternative rock band and I’ve had two radio shows on Tudno FM-these are all different stories! I was sixteen when I did work experience at a local newspaper in North Wales. That was the first time I had written work published (unless you count a terrible poem about a certain boy band in a magazine when I was eleven…They weren’t that bad so don’t judge!)

When I was working at the newspaper, I wrote a review on the musical “Chicago” that had come to Llandudno that summer. It made me start to consider combining my two passions-writing and music. I knew that reaching people was what I wanted to do-what better way than through my writing and through music? So here I am!
