Later she would cite Lauryn Hill, Mitchell, and Bob Marley as her biggest influences. [2]
After considering a career in fashion, she switched her focus to music while at university in London. [3] After Brixton producer and DJ Joe Hertz heard a track that she'd recorded with fellow students, he featured her vocals on "Goodbye Kisses," a single from his 2017 album Night/Daze.
