If you want to deep dive into this young singer's latest touring adventures, check out the below.  

1. Seattle 


Started it all with a sold-out show in Seattle. A few familiar faces there which was nice. Had a great night and a ridiculously good burger. 

2. Los Angeles 


The biggest show of the tour. The buzz before and after can't be replicated. That feeling. I LOVE LA.

3. Phoenix


Me and my best friend in a hotel room packing merch. Couldn't get much better lol. Though Phoenix was one of the smaller venues, it was one of my favourite shows and one of my best performances to date. 

4. Houston 

Beautiful city. Picked up some great new pieces too. The crowd at the show was so interactive and I met everyone after…Someone was there from Spain!? 

5. Dallas 


First time going into the crowd. It worked so well. Someone made a flag with my face on it! That was cool too. 

6. Chicago 

Almost out of energy, but that crowd put it right back into me. That night was a blur. A sold-out crowd and a great one. Almost died eating a deep-dish pizza; like trying to eat a 3-person meal in one. Well worth it though. This was also Frank Sativa’s last stop :( 

7. Toronto 

Black hibiscus joined us, what a lovely team of people and a sick act. My energy came back at this point and it was great to see a lot of new faces. 

8. New York 


I adore New York. I could move there, it’s surreal. The lighting was so sick with this venue (Baby’s All Right). They brought such good energy to the show. 

9. Philadelphia 


Me and Ben sharing a hug. He is the brains behind the technical side of my shows and my MD. Philly was the smallest venue of the tour but that made it such a beautiful, intimate show. It felt absolutely packed in the room. There was also a massive projector which was sick. By this stage of the tour, I'm pretty dead. 

10. Atlanta 


The best way to end the tour. One of the loudest crowds, if not the loudest of the whole tour – and completely sold-out. Had the best night after too; it was definitely one to remember. Bittersweet, as it was the end, but couldn’t be more grateful to everyone who came out on this tour. I was absolutely shattered by the end of it all. The best time of my life and can't wait for many more.
