With support from tastemakers and mentorship from Tees Music Alliance, this stand-out artist is poised to make a significant impact in the north east music scene and beyond.

“Breathe (SOS) is about the feeling of not having control, that feeling you get when you’re overwhelmed and burnt out. You’re struggling to process things, to keep information held down, you’re forgetting plans and losing track of your schedule… all your days are blurring into one. It’s about when all that gets too much you begin to feel overwhelmed you’re being held down, crushed by the feeling of not being mentally, physically, emotionally available. To me it’s like when you’re trying to keep your head above water, desperately spluttering and paddling to try and keep yourself from going under, from drowning.

It’s hard when this happens and like me you don’t have the mental ability to process it all because it begins to pile up the less you talk about it, but you can’t communicate it because you can’t process it, you can’t formulate your feelings into words. You need your soul saving (SOS), desperately crying out for help as a last resort. People might start calling you rude for being spaced out and dramatic when you explain your situation to them. They think it’s a matter of relaxing but you know it’s deeper than that and you need them to understand and help, you are tired of running away from it and pretending it’s just ‘one of them days’.“
