I always wanted to be a musician/songwriter. That's never changed.

I did have a desire to become a graphic artist for 5 minutes but that idea was killed off by a careers officer at my school. Apparently graphic design was not a job for a man although it wasn't put in quite those terms 😡
 
What inspired you to start playing and making music?
I think it was a combination of listening to multiple genres of music on 78rpm records when I was very young and the realization that I could do something similar with an ancient guitar we had lying around.
 
What is a fun childhood memory that associates with your generation or age?
 
Can you stay awake for more than 48 hours?
 
I love listening to music. I'm curious, what's your favorite song?
That's so hard to answer and if I do name a song it's going inevitably to pigeonhole me but...

Every once in a while I hear something that I know is amazing even if it's not of a genre that I'm particularly fond of. A year ago I heard a live version of song from a complete unknown that was so good I had to find out more. What I found was a genius singer songwriter who was chained to a major record company that refused to release her music under her own name.

She managed to escape from that company and release her album as an independent artist and the rest is history.

This is the song.
