biggest musical inspiration is Elliot Smith, with
her own music often being described as having
an indie folk sound. She has been performing all

Performance pet peeve? People standing like five feet from the stage with no one in front

bagel or an english muffin.
Favorite song right now? “We Don’t Care” by Kanye off of College Dropout.
