My dream project would be to have a two part music video album accompanying a world tour. I’m bursting with creative ideas but don’t have the budget or team right now .. but soon I will I hope haha.
Your latest track is 'My Mistakes'. Can you share with us the background of its creation and did any unusual things happen during its creation?
So I worked with with the amazing songwriter George Pelham on this track. I wanted the songwriting style to be classic like “baby one more time” and I think we executed that well. The message of the track is realising you aren’t always right in the relationship. The intro and tape fx inspo came to me whilst watching the new Pamela Anderson sex tape documentary on Disney+ Actually!
What makes you angry?
Racism and homophobia people that won’t let people be. Bullies and anyone that harms animals boils my blood!

The repetitive takes in the studio is my worst part- I much prefer performing live.

Yes it can be to be honest. But I also love it at times. I love watching films and cinema trips im a massive movie geek, horror is my favourite genre.

Good question - I can’t think right now but watching the sunset with my boyfriend and dogs was lush.

Lots more music, videos and a tour for sure. MJ
