UK YA Author Week 2022 - Interview

I am happy to share that I have been interviewed for UK YA Author Week 2022 - hosted by the book subscription box Paper Orange.

It was lovely to chat to Charley about The Songs You've Never Heard and the messages of success being a journey with ups and downs. I also got to talk about the process of weaving songs into a story, picking artists for our Top 5 Song Lists, and my experience being a plus-sized singer in the music industry.

Please do check out the video and all the other amazing interviews with UK YA authors on Charley’s channel!

Kelsey Ellison releases "F.I.G.H.T" Lip Sync Video

About 4 years ago, I worked on a handful of songs with Kelsey Ellison and Pete Barringer for Kelsey's K-Pop influenced band K-Oh! (Also known as Pixels). Some of these songs got performed at the big YouTuber convention Summer In the City and it was great to see such a big audience dancing and getting excited for them.

Now Kelsey has re-released the song F.I.G.H.T under her solo channel as an anthem of positivity, with the ad revenue each month going towards various causes such as LGBTQ+ charities and BLM.

We first wrote this song around the time Trump was elected and we were feeling so frustrated with the state of the world. We wanted to write an anthem to tell people they aren't alone and that even if they feel like no one is listening, there is a whole army of warriors out there fighting alongside them for justice and equality. "We're gonna fight for love, we'll fight for us baby!"

It means so much to me to see so many people getting involved with the video and spreading awareness to important causes <3 There is also a lyric version of the video if you would like to sing along:

Djamila Releases "Bad Habit"

Today is the release of the song Bad Habit which I co-wrote with Youtuber Djamila. I absolutely love this song, it came together so organically on guitar during a Skype session and we spent a long time making sure the lyrics really told a story. I have loved working together, Djamila is so incredibly talented and a lovely person, plus we have made this happen completely indie so I’m really proud of what we have achieved!

You can stream or buy the song right now so please do check it out - and thank you to Djamila’s followers who have already watched the Instagram promo over 10k times!
