Top Artists
A collection of artists that I binge.
Dodie
Where do I start with this amazing woman? Her music is so…unique? It’s soft, it’s playful, it’s raw, it’s harmonic, it’s spine chillingly beautiful and comforts my soul without fail. I don’t know what else to say other than she deserves the world. And that I was devastated when her Melbourne tickets sold out.
Favourite Songs (who am I kidding I love them all):
