The best concert I was ever at was…
Wizkid at EKO Hotel in Lagos, Nigeria, in 2017.
My favourite show I’ve ever performed was…
My sold-out headline show in Vicar Street in 2021! I truly felt something otherworldly when I was performing on stage that night. It affirmed and solidified my love and passion for performing even further. I’m always looking for ways to build and grow more and bring elements of that show into any stage I’m on, and an upcoming one that may just do that is my show in the Dublin Fringe Festival at Roe & Co Distillery! I’ll be performing some of my songs from my upcoming EP called People Still Cry In Summer. It feels like a reintroduction to who I am now and becoming.
