London’s creative chaos has a way of turning raw talent into something fearless — and for this artist, it was the perfect training ground. From busking on busy streets to drawing inspiration from the city’s quirky, anything-goes energy, London helped her embrace individuality both in music and style. Her songwriting blends honesty, humor, and a touch of defiance, often exploring themes of girlhood, empowerment, and the messy beauty of self-expression. Whether she’s channeling nerves before a show, capturing friendship dynamics in Bad Friend, or experimenting with sound on Haters, her work feels refreshingly real — a reflection of someone still discovering, but already owning, her artistic identity.
London has a vibrant music scene—how has the city influenced your music and style?
London definitely shaped my music and my style. I used to busk there every week for a while, and it was incredible meeting so many other buskers — everyone was so talented, unique, and a bit quirky in the best way. The city really celebrates individuality; it’s one of the few places where it’s totally acceptable to be weird. That freedom pushes you to create something that’s genuinely you, instead of trying to fit into a box or be overly polished for a community that might hold you back.
Do you have any pre-show rituals or superstitions before performing your songs?
I don’t have much live performance experience yet, especially with my originals. Performing in front of people honestly terrifies me — but it’s also something I want so badly. So my pre-show ritual I guess would be anything that calms my nerves… and a little prayer that I don’t mess it up!
Which of your own songs do you feel most connected to, and why?
I feel connected to all my songs in different ways. Bad Friend is super catchy and poppy, and I love the theme — female friendships, girlhood, all of that really inspires me. That one’s more fiction than fact, but it captures a feeling I know well. Just a Girl also explores girlhood but with a darker, almost threatening edge, which I find so exciting. Then there’s Haters, my newest release, and that one means a lot to me. It was the first song I made after discovering how much I love working with producers — that changed everything for me creatively. It’s also inspired by the reality of being online and in the public eye; the idea that getting hate can actually be a sign you’re doing something right.
Your lyrics play with gender roles in a cheeky way. Was that something you always wanted to explore in your music?
Yes, it’s always been a natural part of my writing. I don’t think I ever sat down and thought, I’m going to play with gender roles, it just comes out that way. I love the idea of my music empowering women — helping them realise their potential and see how much wider their horizons really are. And honestly, I can’t help but make a few cheeky digs at men in my songs… so you could say they inspire me too! Ultimately, I just want my music to feel relatable to as many people as possible.
How do you decide which personal experiences are ready to become a song?
I don’t really decide, to be honest. It usually starts with a little spark of inspiration — a line, a feeling, or something I want to say — and I just write it down. I call them my ‘song seeds’. I’m always adding to my notes with random ideas, and then I come back to them when inspiration hits again. It’s all pretty instinctive.
“Just a Girl” blends pop, folk, and singer-songwriter elements. How do you decide which genres or styles to bring into a song?
I don’t really decide! With Just a Girl, I let Leve take the lead on the melody and production — it definitely carries his signature sound. When I’m writing, the first line usually just appears in my head, and it tends to come with a melody or a sense of whether it’s something upbeat or softer. I kind of just let the song happen to me, rather than forcing it into a genre.
How do you balance honesty and humor in your lyrics without it feeling forced?
Humour’s such a big part of my life that it just naturally finds its way into my writing. I love slipping in cheeky little lines and hoping someone listening catches the joke too. Lyrics are the part of music I pay the most attention to — they’re what excite me — so I always hope there are people out there combing through mine and picking up on all the little details.
Was there a particular moment when you realized the song was “finished” and ready to release?
I think the song could’ve been released the day we wrote it! It came together so quickly, and the final version isn’t much different from the original demo. I did a bit of polishing back in the UK, but honestly, it was basically done that same day — it just felt right.
What’s the funniest or most unexpected fan reaction you’ve had to one of your songs?
Honestly, all the reactions feel unexpected — it still blows my mind that people are actually listening to my music and enjoying it! I haven’t had anything wild happen yet, but just knowing that my songs are part of someone’s daily life is an incredible feeling.
How do you see your music evolving over the next few years?
I think the more I write and release, the more I’ll find my niche. Right now, I’m still exploring and experimenting — I don’t have a super clear direction yet. I’m just taking it step by step, trusting the process, and knowing that the more I make, the better I’ll get.
