In May 2022 unveiled the single “Not Like Superman” exploring the struggles of seeking approval while grappling with self-doubt. The track features driving drums and a rich powerful 8-piece string section, drawing into its emotional depth. Later that year followed “Trojan Horse” a fast-paced reflection on vulnerability and personal growth, which featured on multiple radio stations including BBC Introducing Merseyside.

In 2024 came the single release "Cancellation" a cinematic country-pop piece that delves into the frustrations of dead-end relationships and the feeling of being trapped in a cycle of déjà vu.

The latest release “Love's On The Run” is about being ready to open yourself up again and being ready for new beginnings. Even though you feel vulnerable when you start letting people into your life again, you’ve reached that point where you feel willing enough to take that risk.

Recent performances include festivals such as The British Country Music Festival, Wychwood Festival, Celtic Connections and Greenbelt. They also include a BBC Introducing showcase at The Cavern, Sofar Sounds and support slots for Robert Vincent and Ian Prowse.
