Such a positive energy, which right now we're in need of more than ever because of the state of the world.

And I actually think that as a kind of mission statement, kind of using art for good and for positive energy and to unite people is so important.

So I really wanted to welcome her onto the show.

She hasn't even got an album out.

It's like the kind of beginning of this iteration of her career, because actually she's been working for like 15 years, writing songs, making music.

I did actually realize last night that I actually had heard some of your other songs from a previous iteration, maybe like six years ago.

There's a track called Bones, and there were quite a few other songs, which I still to this day love.

I listened to them last night, and you're an amazing songwriter.

So I'm very, very proud to welcome to Talk Art...

me.

How are you?

So funnily enough, in February, I kept hearing about you because a mate of mine, Tom Partridge, who is a performer in the West End and an actor, he heard your music, I think, before the single had come out.

And he kept saying to me, you have to get Meek on the podcast.

She's this amazing phenomenon.

You have no idea.

And I was just like, what is he going on about?

I didn't even know the song yet.

And then when I heard it, I was like, oh, my God, Tom was right.

But then about a week later, the whole of Margate, I live in Margate, was talking about you, the whole queer community here.

And it felt like within about 10 days, you had the whole of the UK's queer kind of creative artistic world backing you.
