Her debut EP inWaves traces a slow process of rebuilding trust in voice and body, shaped through years of live experimentation, movement between continents and an instinct for leaving space around the songs.

SUPPORT 
POSTCARDS FROM THE UNDERGROUND
Postcards From The Underground has been championing independent music and the artists operating beyond the mainstream for the best part of eight years. Through the radio show, website, interviews, features and our ever-growing music archive, the aim has always been the same: to give new and emerging music a platform and help more people discover something different.
Keeping an independent project like this moving takes time, commitment and resources. From producing the weekly radio show and developing the website to expanding the archive and creating more opportunities to feature independent artists, there's plenty more we'd like to do.
If you enjoy what we're doing and would like to help support its continued development, you can now contribute through Ko-fi. Every contribution, however big or small, goes towards keeping Postcards independent, improving what we do and helping us reach further.
No pressure, of course – listening, sharing and spreading the word all make a difference too.

Postcards From The Underground is a weekly new music programme exploring the independent and alternative music landscape.
Since launching in 2018, the show has championed emerging artists, independent releases and the sounds developing beyond the mainstream. Each episode brings together a restless mix of post-punk, indie, art-pop, dream-pop, shoegaze, electronic music, psych, experimental sounds, folk, noise and everything in between.
Alongside established independent voices, the programme continually seeks out new and emerging artists, offering a platform for music that is inventive, distinctive and willing to take risks. From fractured guitars and restless rhythms to hazy electronics, warped pop, atmospheric songwriting and experimental territory, every episode reflects the diversity of contemporary independent music.
Broadcast weekly from the UK and available to listen back online, Postcards From The Underground is a space for curious listeners, music obsessives and anyone looking beyond the obvious.
