I grew up in the back arse of Monaghan; the tiniest little town, there wasn’t much going on. I was the biggest tomboy ever growing up. Makeup was probably the last thing anyone I thought I would end up doing.

My earliest memory is moving house. I originally lived in Clane in Kildare. I remember sitting in the back of the car with my toy piano and my feet not even reaching the floor.
