She started organizing shows in the barn when she was about 12 years old. Aged 18 she moved to the big city, Paris, where she baked pies and cakes in a cafe. There, a local musician and regular customer called Andre Herman Dune wrote a few songs for her to sing. She called her first E.P. “Neon Orange”. Homeless in Paris, she saved up just enough money to get herself a ticket to New York. There she found an old electric guitar and started writing her own material. She now lives in Berlin where she records her music and sometimes produces other people's music, including David Tattersall's "Happy For A While" These two songs appear on "Click Click" (Conky Records) which also features a drummer (Leo Bear Creek), and electric guitars by Stanley Brinks.
