I went through a lot both at school and at home and found writing made me feel better, especially when I wrote whilst
listening to Guns ‘n Roses or Alannis
Morisette. I used to draw pictures of myself as a female Axl Rose and image what it would be like to be popular.
When I was 11 the diary entries turned in to poetry and then in to lyrics. I had been given the nick name of 'Tiger Lilly' at school because I looked like the Disney character from Peter Pan. I adopted it as my writers name and signed off my writing - 'By Tiger Lilly'
I wrote a song called 'Hollywood Legend' and recorded it on to cassette tape and sold it at my School for £3!! That was a lot of money for 1 song on cassette tape in 1993 and for a short period of time I actually felt really cool and popular. 'Hollywood Legend" was about wanting to be popular but really not knowing where you were going or who you are. Quite deep for a 12yr old!
I continued writing for therapy during my education, I didn't really see myself doing anything with my songs but had a burning desire to be an actress and went on to train at The London School of Musical Theatre.
After I graduated I worked as an actress and ran a theatre company called 'Dream Maker’ for several years. In between auditions and teaching I worked for several TV and Film companies both in production on set and off and also in post-production mainly at Pinewood Studios. I learnt a lot about the entertainment industry worked and how to run a successful business which later on was a huge help in enabling me to develop my music as a brand.
