just want to say a late thank you for how brilliant you all made my 2023, i will never not be grateful to you all for helping me facilitate my dreams and be a singer ❤️

some know, but i hadn't necessarily publicised it... that i've recently stepped away from gigging to focus on getting to university in september. i miss all the venues, and the people! but i gotta put in the work as much as i can now since i'm really in the home run haha! i know i sort of vanished without a trace, but the reality is in between studying for exams and everything else i have going on i just wanted to take more time for my family, friends, and boyfriend before i (with any luck!!) leave kent soon.

i still love music and i'm still regularly performing. i can't wait to get back on the scene soon. ☺️

all the best and all the love for 2024,
MC

so it’s the one year anniversary of me singing to you today, and wow. i have so many thank you’s to give!

first and foremost, thank you to you and your continued support as my followers and audience. when i started doing this i didn’t think i was going to find any sort of success but i’m so grateful to be connected to you all ❤️ when i was a little girl i was very shy, and i had no confidence. i always knew i wanted to sing but i never thought my dream would come true, so thank you for changing the game for me.

thank you to all the amazing musical fairy godmothers and godfathers i’ve met along the way so far, the support from all of you means more to me than you’ll ever know! i’m so lucky to call you all my friends.

to all my teachers and mentors who encouraged me to take my love for music and turn it into something, and to all the amazing venues who have given me the opportunity to do it for them. i love each and every place i’ve ever worked with, and i wish you all the best!

to all the sound technicians who have sorted me out pre-show, and the radio crews i‘ve worked with. i’m looking at you .illumini and ! 🦋❤️ and to who kindly let me talk about my dreams on his podcast this past week.

thank you to the beautiful and talented .oeeyy_ for playing guitar for me at my first ever show. couldn‘t do it without you ❤️

and last but not least, thank you to . you‘re the most talented person i know and a constant inspiration. i love singing with you and i love our little project and the world we have created together 🌹💕

i love what i do, and i‘m so glad you love it too. thank you for the love always. you all make my heart so warm! 💕

love,
MC
