​

I am presently recording music for my concept album 'Caged', which I have been working on since 2007... I started to wear a veil initially because it helped with my self-consciousness and performance anxiety, I can hide, I can be safe somehow... But why do I feel this way?...

Looking at identity and the layers of who we are, what we think and how that is influenced by the past. The things we do not always perceive in our everyday lives... things that control us psychologically and socially. Things we just accept as normal and everyday, from the way we dress, to the language we use... I conceal, and hide within these layers, obscure visuals and physicality in order to express fear, rejection, painful memories and feeling lost in our contemporary society. Feeling unable to express myself. With no usual rights or autonomy...

​

I have realised in recent years that I love to dance and sing, yet I have never had the courage to do these things as I would have done...  they are very exposing and public... I feel extremely excruciatingly vulnerable... and I also don't feel I have the same rights to do these things as some others do... in a way I can achieve performance through recording and video... I find it hard to perform openly, though... Yet I have sung and danced since I was a child... there are many things I do not accept about myself... Why do I have such anxiety that prevents me from doing something I love so much? Is it even natural to perform in public? Is it some sort of rule or lack of accordance in me that naturally prevents me?... I care about fashion, though I know it is deemed a superficial interest... I am exploring my insecurities and blockages and try to overcome them... There are so many things that prevent me from focussing on my performance in a positive and technical way because I am thinking about negative things instead. Things that are barriers for me, things which others may not have, yet I have to shoulder. I have a choice, yet I question and doubt myself... These things stop me... they are my Walls...

​

To peel away these layers, to reveal something about our behaviours can be liberating, enlightening and helpful in understanding ourselves...

​

The ideas of feeling trapped, caged, restricted, anxious, stressed, sad, and having a need to express oneself ... this is what I explore for me...  So I follow this intuition and instinct in me... moving from the visual in art to the non-physical in music... I am beginning to feel very differently about myself and the world, as well as what I do... Will I ever get to sing free like a bird does?...
