As a 14 year old she spent Boxing Day in a local pub in Manchester talking to Hooky from New Order, he didn't have much words of wisdom but it was enough to persuade her to pursue a career in music. Unfortunately not blessed with any rhythm she went on to do an MA in Creative Writing and published her own poetry and art magazine before moving to East London to be a freelance writer. She spends her time at her laptop or thrashing around to post-hardcore.
