2024 🤍a magical year that im so grateful for.. dream new jobs, amazing festivals and gigs, my first dj sets, and a year i’ve truly felt like myself, and learnt alot about myself in that! thank you for all the love and support, not sure how this year could be topped but the triple whammy of glasto, primavera and download in june 2025 might do it…

thrilled to be taking part in this online live stream by @songsbehindthemusic in support of @safegigs4women who i’ve been volunteering for at gigs

featuring performances and talks, the day has SO much talent and incredible people taking part, i’m glad to be part of it. i’m going to be talking more about my research into music and media representation in the alternative scene…

i’ll also be chatting about the importance of safe gigs for women, an organisation we are fundraising for that you can donate to via justgiving
