Born in Sydney, as a teen self-expression was found in scribing her thoughts and emotions in the form of poetry. The written word accompanied by melody followed as this quiet introspective girl spent unending hours holed up in her room with her beloved piano and musical equipment. Family and friends were unable to coax her into joining in on any youthful activities she remained resolute and happy in her solitude, all consumed in the relationship between music and lyric. To support this budding songwriter and to learn her craft, this shy internalized girl was terrifyingly propelled into the world of performing and over time established an underground following as she worked across the country from a rookie singer fronting a renowned big jazz band to a seasoned solo performer, piano and voice. At all times staying faithful to the writer. Courted by EMI, RCA and SONY but only for the singer not for her songs, she naively resounded her credo “ take me take my music”, thus remaining defiantly uncompromising in her pursuit of the songwriter and in this her debut album ‘Uncompromising’ was born.
