The Peckham-born and based musician shares her long-standing admiration for South American singer, Simone Bittencourt de Oliveira

“Brazilian music has always been very important to me – there’s so much expression in the melodies and Brazilian singers have incredible, distinct vocal tones. When I was younger I read a Quincy Jones quote that described Simone as one of the world’s greatest singers, and I had to find out who she was and why her voice was so special. When I was growing up, my voice didn’t really fit with other people’s around me, and listening to Simone gave me confidence in that.

It’s something I always think about. Every time I make new music, I listen to that song at some point in the process.”launched South of Heaven Records in 2019. Through her label, the Peckham-born and based musician makes art on her own terms, and hopes other young artists can take note. “It’s realising that you can come from a normal, working-class background and still retain ownership,” she says. Previously signed to a major label, she cherishes this freedom.
