Armour
New song out now. Available everywhere.
Armour is about wielding your sword of authenticity to fight through a world of conformity.
Over the last few years, I've harnessed fashion — and not-so-fashion — as armour to uncover and understand my identity in its fullest form.
Armour tells a story of acceptance, struggle, inspiration, and hope
“Bring me my pearls...
the night is young so let me don,
all the things they said were wrong.
In another world...
hope belongs to everyone,
so go and put your armour on.”
The journey to the stage is never an easy one. Every brushstroke on my face, every note of my warmup, every step to the stairs is another breath asking “am I enough”? Who says what is enough anyway…?
On stage, I just am. And while I’m being, I’m communicating. And while I’m communicating, I’m reaching. And while I’m reaching, I’m healing. Who, you ask? I am the healed; and I am the healer. We all need healing, we who ask “am I enough”? I think we just need someone to answer.
