I've recently become friends with this girl, whose parents are ex-patriate Brits like me and was introduced to music from a young age. She plays keyboards, guitar, saxophone, harmonica, djembe, flageolet, sings and writes her own songs.
I have been to three of her gigs since August this year. Musically she sounds like Crowded House, Sheryl Crow, Tasmin Archer, Kings Of Leon, Carly Simon, Ray Davies, Yael Naim - very mature and intelligent music for someone who's only 22 years old.
