Speaking about the album, she says, "'Everything was a journey of fully investigating and giving a voice to all the swimming, yearning, curious parts within me.
"It’s titled Everything because the deeper I go, the more infinite words there are to discover within. This album is a quest to find an oar, a spiritual centre, an anchor, within the wild whirling tides of the sea of life."

I grew up on the great songstresses, Joni Mitchell, Carole King, and Norah Jones. Their warmth and authenticity raised me. As well as a healthy dose of The Beatles The Doobie Brothers and Steely Dan. I am inspired across the board by all artistry. Jazz greats like Ella Fitzgerald. Punch Brothers. Jacob Collier. All musical theatre! Painters. Frida Kahlo, Hilma Klimt and Georgia O'Keefe.
