“Each week, I prepare a song to sing to my street before the ‘Clap For Our Carers’ which boosts morale among our neighbours”.

She continued: “During lockdown, I have been focusing on my A-levels and regularly playing music. I’m incredibly thankful to my tutors at college, they have been really inspirational and have helped me pursue a career in music.”
