There is a unique sense of heartfelt tenderness from this Glaswegian singer-songwriter’s sound. An emotional melody sung in the purest form that tells a story of lost love.

“I spent the beginning of 2019 coming to terms with the fact that the guy I was infatuated with didn’t feel the same way.

It allowed me to process and ultimately, mourn the loss of a potential love.”
