Her street performances have lead to so many wonderful opportunities including multiple Germany tours, gigs in Austria, France and Switzerland as well as festival slots at Cornbury and Glastonbury.  

As a teenager, Campbell attended the prestigious BRIT School in South London and went on to study songwriting at the Institute of Contemporary Music Performance. She began busking in between her degree and her next step and fell in love with the art of street performance; she found a stage on London's pavements and continues to use that as her main platform for promoting her music to new audiences.
