I've always had this identity thing. When I was little, I was always changing my handwriting because I couldn't decide which one I liked best.
I maintain that I never expect anything, therefore I'm always pleasantly surprised.
I love the music of Lauryn Hill and Erykah Badu and more recently the music of Laura Marling. All these women share a strength and a wisdom in their voices and music that really makes me want to make music and sing.
I love vintage and I shop vintage a lot because it's just such great value for money.
Women who have strong identities, who know themselves, really inspire me.
