Influences:
The weather, my hormones and Annie Lennox and this
Sounds Like:
Apparently....
..."A cutting silhouette of a voice, Ríona Sally Hartman trips through songs with an ease of grace found in the best of offbeat female artists...[she] builds her songs like stories, and performs them like poetry...with hints of Laura Marling in her approach to song making, the lyrics come to the fore while the melody remains deceptively simple and strong." (Hugh Torpey- Le Cool)
...."early Tori Amos but with a more definite hint of jazz in there" (Discovered in Dublin)
..."enchanting sweet vocals mask passionate and dark lyrics....when you listen to her music your emotions get dragged through every bar with her, from sadness to angry defiance. They are owed an in depth listen." (The London Music Blog)
"angular pop-jazz with a theatrical twist" (talktalk.co.uk)
...but I'm open to different descriptions and interpretations, if you've got an opinion on any of my songs or gigs good bad of indifferent let me know. I might not agree with you but I'd still be curious to hear them.

Sometimes its influenced the music and is relevant but more often than not it's there for the sake of formulaic journalism #musicjournalism

When readin interviews with musicians I always skip the inevitable paragraph bout where they were born + what their parents did for a living

Someday people will become skinless and there will be no more need for these doomed attempts at communication, this selfindulgent need to externalise the self, but until then I draw, I speak, I write, I build, I create, I break, I shout, I dance and I sing and I sing and I sing and I sing.....
