was raised in her mother’s studio in Vancouver. At the tender age of 12 she already recorded her own songs, which she toured some years later Europe with as a street musician. Gaining life experience she now expresses in her grown up folk songs.
There is no option! This is the quintessential bath-tubbing song.
you relax on a beach?

you prepare for an important date?
Alfred G. Karnes - I Am Bound For The Promised Land
We'd fight over the record player and settle on something like, «I Am Bound For The Promised Land» by Alfred G. Karnes. A song we are both obsessed with at the moment.
you want to disturb your neighbours?
Scooter - One (Always Hardcore)
Although it might just confuse them.

you have to spend a night in a spooky hotel?
Dolly Parton - Daddy Come And Get Me
