Somewhere in These ten songs, there’s one written for you

Hi! I’m so happy you’re here 🎶

I don’t know much about you (yet) but here’s a little about me….

I eat / drink chocolate at least twice a day, I’m learning Portuguese, I have a cat named Dinky and I love growing food in my garden and long walks on the beach (a cliche I know, but I really love it!).

I’m also a self managed & independent artist, songwriter, producer and performer. And, in March 2026, I released an album called BEAUTIFUL MACHINE (and it debuted at #4 on the ARIA charts! 🙌)

I wrote these songs while hiking through the rainforest, walking on the beach, driving to see my family (I was in the passenger seat of course) and lying on the couch in my underwear.

When I wrote the songs, I was going through a (probably never-ending) process of falling deeper in love with my body and the Earth.

I was thinking about how we (humans) sometimes seem obsessed with building ‘bigger and better’ technology, ‘progressing’ and ‘super-intelligence’….. we’ve built this ‘modern world’ and there’s so many benefits to ou technology and ur progress…. But there’s downside too.

The natural world is so brilliant - it’s evolved to hold so much life and beauty and, in my opinion, nature is the most beautiful, intelligent, well functioning, important machine we’ll ever have.

So, the Beautful Machine album is a love letter to myself, my body, the earth and all of humanity. As we keep progressing, my only wish is that we remember we ARE the natural world — and we must care for ourselves and each other accordingly.”

Making DEAR JOHN was one of the most liberating things I’ve ever done

For as long as I’ve been writing songs I’ve written them first on guitar or piano, then worked with other musicians and producers in the studio to get that “studio finished sound”.

For this album, for the first time ever, I asked my producer (Clare Reynolds aka LOLLIES) to write all the music for me first - and then I wrote all the lyrics and melodies on top of that music.

I wanted to be moving while I wrote. I wanted to be in nature. I wanted to feel my body working while I created.

(Yes I know, I wrote a couple of songs on the couch in my underwear … but a girls gotta rest too)

This felt SO freeing. As I listened to the music, I moved, I felt it, and I let my body connect to nature while I figured out the exact words I wanted to use to get the stories and messages across.

Lyrics are SO important to me, and I’m beyond proud of the lyrics throughout this album. It feels like beautiful, powerful poetry, with gorgeous music underneath 🥰

THEN, once everything was written, I set up a dodgy-looking but great sounding home recording booth in the spare room of my house and recorded all the vocals (I did this mostly in my underwear too 😹)

Almost all the vocals you’ll hear on this album are mine - except for two little cameos in the song Shoulda Coulda Woulda. One from Clare as a judgmental angel, and one from Jordie Lane as a greedy devil 😇 😈

These songs remind me that we’re all the same

In one of the darkest periods in my life I created strong, joyful music (that is BRILLIANT to sing along to 🎶).

It’s folk, it’s pop, it’s heart-slamming, it’s spirit stirring, and it’s full of truth and fire 🔥

Honestly, I’m damn proud.

I told my story with absolutely no filter. This album is SO personal to me. It’s my story, 100%

And I’ve had countless people tell me that these songs are their stories too.

WTF!?

After two years of touring this album, I understand now that that’s how stories work. You think it’s “just me” - but as soon as we start to share our story, we discover that so many people have experienced the same or similar things.

And, in this case (based off the emails, DM’s, comments, and conversations I’ve had with SO MANY people at gigs) it turns out we’ve all known a “John”.

I’ve always wanted to help make the world a better place and I struggled for a long time, thinking that writing songs was “selfish”.

I don’t think that anymore.

But, still, I want to do something very “unselfish”. I want to give you this album.

Why?

Because I believe in these songs, and I believe in you.

The album

Here’s the album track-listing, and a little bit about each song, so you know what to expect 😊

💰 RICH GIRL - about all the unhelpful things our minds (and other people) tell us.. this song is me saying “Nope. I’m not buying into that anymore”

💥 DEAR JOHN - an actual letter I wrote to “John”, calling out all the things he did, and placing the responsibility of his actions back on him

❤️ WHOLE - this song took me quite a few weeks to write, before I felt like I was saying exactly what I wanted (and needed) to say. It’s about reclaiming my power as a woman 💪

🐓 CHICKEN WINGS - i wrote this (while I was still with “John”) when I was feeling really confused and really low. I was looking for something / someone / anything to help me walk away

🔥 LET IT BURN - this song was inspired by a chapter in Glennon Doyle’s book “Untamed”... Sometimes, when things aren’t working for us anymore, we have to let them burn

🌳 GROWING TALL - this song was insired by Taylor Swift! It’s about all (literally ALL) my ex-boyfriends telling me I couldn’t be who I wanted to be / do what I wanted to. F*ck that!

⚡️ RUN - i wrote this in the middle of the night, while we were in pre-production for the album. When I wrote this song I realised I had SO MUCH more to say. So, I scrapped 70% of the album I had planned to make and wrote most of the songs that you now hear on the album (in a very short period of time 😂). This song is about listening to that quiet (or screaming) voice inside of you that says “RUN”

💪 SOMETHING MORE - “I believe in something more”… this song has become my anthem!

🤫 STAND - standing up for who you are, standing tall in whatever place you find yourself, standing up for the people around you. This song is about not hiding, not keeping secrets, and not giving up.

🌈 RAINBOWS - storms will happen… but, if we bring our light, we create a rainbow that shines through the rain

I know this might seem weird…

Before we go any further I want to say…. I know this might seem weird!

Some random woman popping up in front of you on the internet, telling you about her album, offering you a CD 📣 for freeeeeeee! 📣

Why should you trust me?? And what kind of proof is there that this album is even any good?

Well, let me answer those questions for you!

Actually, I’ll let some of my fans answer them ❤️

There are thousands more messages, comments, emails and conversations like this 😭 🙌

Actually, the response to DEAR JOHN is the exact reason I’m now plastering this album all over the internet and offering it to you for free.

I believe in this album So. Much. I’ve been seeing these songs resonate with people, all around the world, for two years now.

I’ve had people tell me that it’s empowered them, inspired them, educated them, helped them heal and helped them rise up.

I’ve had people tell me that singing along to these songs brings them immense joy, happiness and power.

I’ve had people tell me that this album has changed their life.

Honestly, when I made it, I was NOT expecting that.

But it makes sense….. this album changed my life too….
