Q&A
Question: How did you find yourself playing the harp?
Answer When I was a little girl I had a stuffed hippo I really loved, and I would always play with the ears and my parents thought that looked like the hand shape of a harpist. My mum was touring in Europe at the time and she came back with a little pixie harp and I just really loved it.
Question: How long until you realised you wanted to keep playing?
Answer It’s only been very recently… in the last two years, I’d say. My parents were both musicians and my brother is a musician and I’ve been playing three instruments for my whole life. And it’s always been sort of – not pressure, exactly – but I’ve been pushed in the direction of music. I just wanted to make sure it was something I wanted for myself.
Question: What kind of music do you enjoy the most?
Answer I love playing orchestral music, anything that has a good harp part. But apart from that I really love romantic music. That’s probably my favourite genre, because I just love beautiful melodies and harmonies. I enjoy a bit of film music also, to be honest. It’s so epic but it can also be really intricate.
Question: When you’re not playing?
Answer I love baking. I’m the designated birthday cake maker.
