We’re back! And both of us are so excited to announce that on June 6th we will be releasing our 3rd single, ‘Like the river’!

The whole video was so fantastic to create and I couldn’t have created it all without the amazing makeup artist, Gem and Tonic Jewellery, Jessica Hope, Billy and Louie, the film crew, the photographers and Amanda Neale my manager.
Junior Star Singer Songwriter is a great platform for helping our young artists to launch their musical careers and find ways to get their music out into the public domain.
