She will performed at Nomads Arts Factory Lodge on September 1st. She wrote on social media, "For the people that don’t know my story, I was living out of my van and I was a full time street performer//busker until April this year. Every Tuesday I would play at the Nomads Arts Factory Lodge talent show. It’s where I first played dance monkey and it’s where I really found my feet in music.
To say thank you, THIS SUNDAY I’m going back and playing my last show there (sad)! It’s $5 on the door and all the money will go back to the arts factory. There is limited space so first in best dressed. The show will kick off at 5:30 but I will have another talented busker played 4:30. I love you Byron bay, I love you arts factory. Let’s make it big for old times "- source : Billboard
