Having started playing music and singing at the age of just five, American artist Johanna Winkel has made a name for herself, after singing on her Dad's radio show. She's played lots of gigs in different clubs around America, including her hometown of Colorado. Her stage confidence was seen shortly after, as she was given all the lead roles in plays and musical productions, showing off what she can do.

Robyn Sherwell - Robyn Sherwell (2016)

A career in music is a tough journey, something Robyn Sherwell wasn't brave enough to try until recently. After learning a plethora of instruments in school, she was sent down the route of education to earn a degree. She realised her true calling, and decided to gig in London, as well as upload her covers and songs to YouTube.

It's certainly paid off, as she got a record deal, played at Glastonbury and her original song 'Islander' was Huw Stephen's 'Pick Of The Week' on BBC Radio. Her cover of Fleetwood Mac's 'Landslide' was featured on the Suffragette soundtrack, something not many people get to say or experience.

Today brings another tag post. I did one of these around Christmas time as I was nominated for The Liebster Award (if you want to read that, you can do so here). This time I was nominated by the wonderful Joanna of My Pink Rambles to complete a Beauty Confessions Tag.

A Lovely Weekend In Bath

Two weekends ago I went to Bath with my sister Sarah and my Dad for my Mum's birthday surprise (she knew nothing about it). My dad had booked rooms at the Holiday Inn Express Bath (a lovely hotel if I may say), and a restaurant for dinner.

Raleigh Ritchie - You're A Man Now, Boy (2016)

Raleigh Ritchie (real name Jacob Anderson) is probably very recognisable, as he plays Grey Worm in HBO's immensely popular Game Of Thrones. Music is something Ritchie had been involved in before landing a part in the TV series, with his first recognition in 2006 for featuring on the soundtrack of Adulthood. Consequently a record deal followed, with his debut EP The Middle Child released for free. The video for the album's lead single 'Stronger Than Ever' has over 3.5 million views on YouTube thus far.
