I appreciate wonderment. I find it in simple things. Then, intricacy and grandeur can be overwhelming and inspiring. This is some of the reasoning behind my music, and a lot of it is still to be unveiled.
I’ve been mostly quiet ‘til now. Keeping secrets. The first attempt to gag me was at my birth. My cord was wrapped around my neck 3 times and I was born purple. The lack of oxygen to the brain might explain a few things…
Ever since, I was never really one to follow the crowd - not even a crowd of 4 older siblings. I grew up a creative loner, knitting by the pond at school lunchtime, by 6 years old designing futuristic cars in profile – stuff like that. Saw Daddy travelling the world and decided I’d do it myself one day. Lucky for me I discovered a gift had been left under my pillow - a voice. I didn’t know it would be the voice not only of my music, but of my struggles, love, anger, pain, joy and dreams. Eventually when I started to reveal it, people got it. Usher got it: ‘I shed a tear – you moved me’ he told me after hearing me sing. Speechless. Turns out at the time I wasn’t great at articulating my feelings, so, God must have known when He chose my gift.
When the cross roads between music and fashion design came, guess what? Yeah Daddy, now I’m flying over the world too (wink ;D)
Between then and now, so much has happened. Wow. I put the obstacles aside when on stage, cos it’s my podium, my spot. Be aware when I’m up there I may flip it like Yoda (Gemini, I is…) don’t be scurrred though, what you need to do is join in! I’m going to enjoy sharing my stories and melodies and energy with everyone. My hope is to connect with people and it’s a desire driven by the heart. And, my need for a stOoPid-heavy beat.
Other than that, I guess you might be interested to know that I’ve worked with Jennifer Lopez, Lisa Stansfield, Joy Denalane, Usher, Westlife, Sway, Tweet, Dwele, Bilal, Daniel and Natasha Bedingfield, Bugz In The Attic, Bryan Ferry, Infinite, DMX, Estelle, Angie Stone, Gabrielle, Grundy for Pop Idol, Carlsberg for Saatchi... etc, etc.
And we grind on.
