‘I can’t remember a time when music wasn’t playing in my head or around me. It has always been the way that I thrive. It has always been my coping mechanism. I started writing my own music when I was only nine years old.
I started doing text battles as well on Facebook around that age and I used to beat grown people. Like grown rappers because no one knew it was a kid behind the keypad spitting bars. I just knew that I could do this so easily and thankfully it’s been so easy.’
Lifesize Teddy is used to punching above her weight and being in rooms with peers far older than her. She’s not afraid to win though and her debut EP, Lifesize Teddy shows her versatility as an artist.
