Music is being able to say something in a way that words cannot seem to do. The melody and the words, bliss.
Humility but, to think about it, a bit of both isn’t such a bad thing – balance.
Gin and tonic.
Performing at the Glastonbury Festival.
My quirkiness, which is paired up with my real interest in deeper social issues.
At home, they call me Thandies or Tannie.
Quirky. Generous. Loving. Adventurous. Cheeky.
I love me! Haha truly I do, but I love my family so much and I love my friends. I love people who just have a good vibe a aren’t too uptight about life.
Haha. This changes with the seasons. I think now my favourite word is “vibe”.
A killer pair of heels or even great pants.
Skydiving and travelling the world.
So far, it’ll have to be completing my degree despite all the challenges that I faced throughout the process.
People who can’t communicate basic things like “I’m running late” or “no I can’t do that right now”. And people who aren’t well-mannered.
Not fully walking in or living in my purpose.
Talk a lot.
Somewhere quiet with great weather and a pool and good food and a room/space where I can make music and write.
To travel the world and make music with great musicians. Have my music touch people and move them to become better.
