To achieve this she started writing her own music that was her own. She points to renowned songwriters Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan as inspirations, and also a love for Bjork's style.

She started playing piano when she was only six and began writing music when she was nine. It wasn't until her 14th birthday that she revealed her plans to her parents.
