My earliest memories are deeply intertwined with music and storytelling, rooted in the red centre of Australia where I was born. As a child, I found solace and joy in singing, long before I fully understood the power of words.
Nestled in my mother's arms beneath a magnificent gum tree, I would listen to her sing in her mother tongue, drawing stories in the sand - a healing process that has continued to shape my life as both a singer and painter. Her songs were more than just melodies; they were a connection to our family's dreamtime stories, our heritage, and our land.
My musical journey began in those tender moments, absorbing the rhythms and stories of my ancestors. Music wasn't just a skill I was learning, but a living inheritance passed down through generations. My family nurtured this musical gift, with both my parents contributing to my early love of song.
As I grew, singing became my way of expressing the rich tapestry of my experiences - capturing the essence of love, heartbreak, life in the red centre, and the stories that pulse through my cultural veins. Each song is a piece of my journey, a whisper of change, a healing melody that connects me to my roots and to the world around me.
