about

Presenting "Courage" - the first single from my debut EP, Syzygy.

This is a song is about standing up for yourself, believing in yourself, and knowing that you are a survivor, even in your darkest hour.

In the UK, 1 in 4 women will experience domestic abuse at some point in their lifetime. On average, it takes 7 attempts to leave an abusive partner for good, and the most dangerous time for victims is when they try to leave. 20% of children in the UK have lived with an adult perpetrating domestic abuse, which means as many as 1 in 5 adults go out into the world and into new relationships, not understanding that this behaviour is abnormal and unacceptable. I was one of those children.

Inspired by my escape from an abusive relationship years ago, this song has come to represent the end of every toxic relationship I've left behind, and the risks survivors take to live in the truth that the only person who should ever get to decide what you do with your life... is YOU.

For the next month, 100% of profits from this song will go to the charities Refuge* and Respect, who help people in the UK fleeing domestic abuse. No one should have to live with being controlled, abused, manipulated, or frightened by someone close to them.

This song is my tribute to the bravery and resilience of everyone who has walked away from an abuser. And it's my rallying cry, for anyone who needs to hear it, if you haven't yet taken that first step. It's going to be ok – please know that wherever you are, I see you, and I'll stand with you. You deserve better.

Have Courage.


*(75% of every sale will be donated to Refuge via Work for Good)
