Biography
London based neurodivergent multi-instrumentalist musician / composer / songwriter / vocalist & sound artist. She creates new intricate music, songs, and "Stimscapes", otherworldly yet welcoming, blending elements from art-pop / post-rock, experimental, folk-songs, electronica, to contemporary soundscapes, and live improvisations - layering using sonic explorations of electric guitars / acoustic guitars / vocals / keyboards / piano / synths and sampled objects / field recordings / recycled sounds / audio-visuals & adapted tech / communications. Often exploring relationships between themes of 'Sound / Senses / Regulation / Delay', of 'Stimming / Repetition', and through reflecting of what they describe as their experience of "ND Embodiment / Orbiting'", she works solo and collaboratively with a diverse range of interdisciplinary musicians and artists.
