Hello Nuuxs how are you? <\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I\u2019m very well thank you! In positive spirits.<\/span><\/em>

You are a singer\/songwriter how did it all begin for you? <\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I began singing as a young girl, in school plays- my first role was as Blousey Brown from Bugsy Malone in year 6. I then started writing little songs and poems using the keyboard my mother saved up for. After that we moved when I was 10 and music was not part of my life until I was about 15. I made friends in my final year of secondary school and wrote with kids from my class who were mcs and rappers, then in college I was the front for an indie band. That lasted a good few years until I left and wanted to explore the world a bit on my own. I returned after doing some travelling and started again as a backing singer and then began writing again. Eventually you get to know people and through word of mouth I began \u00a0pitching songs until I got my first publishing deal with Sarah Liversedge at Bucks Music. My first big break.<\/em><\/div>\n

Congratulations on the release of \u201cDreamers\u201d how does it feel? <\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
It feels great to have such an amazing response to it- I know how I feel about it but you can never predict what your audience will feel. I\u2019m just so happy that it\u2019s being shared on peoples playlists! Feels like a small miracle for me.<\/span><\/em>

You\u2019ve worked with Jake Gosling on \u201cDreamers\u201d what was your favourite part of the process?<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Yes I did and also a good friend Ragz Originale co wrote the song with us. It was very fluid and flowed very easily. We make a good team and they understood exactly what I wanted from the start. I think my favourite part is when we all heard the piano and then Ragz jumped on and added some harmonies and we all connected in our own vital ways to the song. <\/span>

You have an album coming out in 2021, how\u2019s it going?<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It\u2019s going very well, I\u2019m releasing a song every 2 months along with love versions of my songs and just can\u2019t wait to get back out on the live circuit again.<\/span><\/em>

What are your favourite tracks from it?<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I love all of them for different reasons they each have their own story and meanings behind them. However the one that makes me smile the most is Our Love.<\/span><\/em>

You\u2019ve been played on the radio and having noise being made about you, how does it feel?<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It\u2019s so strange because it\u2019s always such a surprise. I\u2019m on an indie label so everything is all done on our own backs, I\u2019ll upload songs myself to BBC Introducing and talk to the DJ\u2019s at BBC South Melita Dennett who\u2019s supported me from day 1 and I\u2019ll email Jason Kramer at KCRW and Charlie Ashcroft \u00a0at Amazing Radio to let them know what\u2019s going on and what releases I have coming up next. It\u2019s a real labour of love so when I do get shown support it means so much that amongst the thousands they find the time to listen. It makes me feel like I\u2019m not going crazy if I\u2019m honest.<\/span><\/em>

COVID-19 has affected the creative industry in a big way, how have you been coping with it? <\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Well, it certainly has stopped me from getting to sing live and getting to know real fans. I really enjoy talking to people who have a passion for music and it\u2019s great to hear what people think of my art. I feel very humbled by it all and couldn\u2019t do it without that encouragement.<\/span><\/em>

What artists are getting you excited at the moment? <\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a>Oh I really love Griff at the moment shes got that perfect blend of pop and soul that I love. I also can\u2019t get enough of Lianne La Havas all over again, it\u2019s a bonus because she\u2019s always been one of my favourite artists from a few years back and her music just seems to get better and better.<\/em><\/div>\n

You have collaborated with Mr Eazi and Major Lazer, who would be your dream collaborators if you could pick? <\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
You know what I would love to work with CamelPhat, I love everything they do.<\/em><\/span>

What are you looking forward to most next?<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I\u2019m looking forward to releasing more music leading up to my album \u201cHeirloom\u201d out later next year 2021. I can\u2019t wait to share the visuals I\u2019ve got coming and of course to perform them live.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/div>\n
