So the glass of wine came out.

But it really is, it's very much a family affair, quite literally.

Our producer, Paul, Kirstie, who runs it with us, and it really is just the four of us, but it's so much fun.

And I'm honestly seeing, when I watch it back, because it's just Fever Dream and you forget everything you've said, and I watch it back and I giggle all the time.

I'm constantly cracking up at my twin, her group chat.

I guess maybe sort of 12.

I don't know if I discovered a talent as I just really fell in love with it and so just did it constantly from probably the age of about 12.

I was always writing as a kid.

I was writing short stories and novels and I was always almost entering the Guardian short story competition for children and I never would actually enter it because it was... I would start and write like a paragraph or two and then I would get distracted.

And then I discovered songs, which are very short stories.

with lots of repetition, and you're able to finish them in half an hour or an hour or two hours, and I think that medium sort of spoke to me more.

And I was a huge lover of music.

I mean, when I was a teen, tween, I was really into Green Day, All Time Low, My Chemical Romance, but then I also grew up on

Taylor Swift and Kelly Clarkson and Sara Bareilles and Ingrid Michaelson.

And so I think I was always really into super lyrical stuff.

And then when I started, I borrowed my friend's guitar when I was 12 and started learning a few bits and started writing songs.

And from there, I really just, I'm pretty sure I wrote a song every day for like three years.

I would get home from school and open my laptop like I was at work and sit at my desk with my guitar and just write songs.

so many songs about things that were absolutely not happening to me.

I was writing about my husband who had done me wrong and I was throwing him in a creek.
