Get To Know Me

So for my first blog post I thought I'd do a little Question & Answer type post so you can get to know me a little better before I ramble on endlessly about everything! Here are some questions sent in from my social media sites 
(p.s you should follow me on those accounts if you are feeling lovely..)

Question One:

Who were your musical inspirations when you were growing up?

My biggest musical inspiration is a british band called McFly, i'm sure many of you have heard their music (if you haven't go on youtube right now, like right now..) One of their tracks 'Lonely' actually really inspired me to teach myself guitar so I literally sat there like a cool 14 year old in my bedroom every night practicing the song till i got it right. From there I started making up & writing my own songs. So thank you Mcfly! haha.

Question Two:

What makeup brands do you use?

I use a variety of different makeup brands which i'll probably do a blog post on soon but some of my favourite that I use a lot are: MAC, Maybelline, Chanel, Rimmel, Urban Decay Naked Pallettes & heaps more.

Question Three:

Besides writing songs how do you deal with a break up?

Music is definitely the #1 thing i turn to with any emotional situation in my life - especially heartbreak. But i think what's really important to remember about breakups & heart break is that everyone you meet is there to teach you something & help you grow as a person. So if it doesn't work out with someone you thought you loved or thought you could love it may hurt at the time, but it just means they weren't the right person for you & later on in your life maybe tomorrow, maybe in 5 years you'll meet the love of your life & they will be perfect for you because you'll know it. *end hopeless romantic monologue*

Question Four:

Who is your fashion inspiration?
I really look up to Miranda Kerr as a fashion icon as well as a general inspiration. She is absolutely gorgeous & is really into health & well being not to mention being a model for Victoria's Secret which is like, one of my all time favourite brands! As well as Miranda I really love Lauren Conrad's style (her hair is also amazing!) 

My fashion sense is pretty girly as i love sparkly things especially dresses, but i also love sort of preppy high waisted shorts, oxfords & cute collard shirts. 

         

Question Five:

Which musical style inspires you? 

I absolutely love Country music & everything about it. When I write my songs i really like to be as honest as possible with the lyrics - to me lyrics are the heart & soul of music. Country music is really my favourite genre to listen to because it tells real honest stories about everything from heartbreak to true love to family - everything that people go through in life really! & i love listening to other people's stories & being like "wow so i'm not the only one". I hope when people listen to my music I can give them that same comfort & let them know they're not alone in what they are feeling. 

Question Six:

What is your favourite movie?

I'm definitely a sucker for romantic movies but I absolutely love Disney movies & in saying that,i'd have to say my favourite is 'Tangled'. Lets be honest, we all want a Flynn Rider in our lives!! (please)

Question Seven:

What shops do you get your clothes from?    

I shop at a variety of different stores but some of my favourite places to shop (where i always spend too much money) are: Topshop, Forever New, Sports girl, Factorie/Cotton On & Myer.

Question Eight:

What is your favourite song?

I definitely couldn't pick ONE favourite song EVER but right now & in general applying to my life would have to be 'I Want Crazy' by Hunter Hayes. Besides being hopelessly in love with this boy - this song really speaks about true love & how two people shouldn't be anything less than completely, madly, crazily in love with each other. That's what I hope to find one day. 

Question Nine:

If you weren't making music what would you be doing?

Music has always been #1 for me but I also really love animals so I think i'd be studying to be a vet nurse or something in that industry. I used to ride horses when i was 7 till i was 18 so I do love horses, as well as dogs - of course my dog Romeo is my fave. 

Question Ten:

What Camera & Photo editing programs do you use?

For filming & photography I use a Canon SLR 650D. For editing I use Photoshop CS5 for pictures & video editing I use iMovie & Final Cut Pro. All on a Macbook Pro.
