transitioning...

You may have noticed that I have been a little quiet in the past 6 or so much, popping up every now and then but not really letting you in on my emotions, on the process, not really sharing anything new or digging deeper into the art I put out into the world in the Spring. The truth is that releasing my EP, touring and all of the life things that also happened around that time led me into a dark place...

The vocal injury which made me scared to sing, the bereavements, shifts in my team, the questioning of my purpose and my place in the world and all of that while navigating a really tricky economic landscape, because let's not forget how much that has taken its toll on everyone.

By June, I'd had enough and I realised it was time for a radical shift. I made some really tough decisions which I am still navigating the consequences of. One of those decisions was to tap into what I want and what I need (cue Christina Aguilera, ha). Since making a decision to be conscious of what I want and what I need, my life has completely shifted. Summer was full of joy and heartbreak, and trust me, you'll be hearing about that, warts and all.

On a more serious note though, on the 20th October 2026, I turned 30 and I am proud to say that I have found home, community and safety that I didn't know was possible. I feel held, seen and free to express myself and look, it's far from perfect, and my emotions are all over the place because, you know, that's what happens when you're transitioning, but everything is falling into place in a way that I couldn't have imagined.

I will go much deeper into this when I see you, which is probably only likely if you come to one of my upcoming shows, because I am about to go incognito for a while as I pour myself into my next body of work, but know, if you are reading this, that I am grateful for your support and look forward to being able to pour back into you when circumstances allow.

Thank you for sticking with me, for coming to hear me play records, for streaming my music, for buying my record, for buying tickets to my shows, for being you. I look forward to connecting with you in real life soon!
