Biography

AUTOMATON

Automaton started writing music in the early naughties when everyone it seemed was having a bedroom studio hit...”I felt sure I could manage some alchemy of my own as Id always wanted to pick up music, I became a DJ, I couldn't stay in my office job, Id been an ice skater before that so I picked up my pen (copy of Cubase on a Microsoft computer Id bought from my position as receptionist in a dot com co.) Done and Dusted.

Brighton then and hanging out with Breakbeat DJs I started to formulate some kind of style…It was very pop orientated, I didn’t know why, as I was listening to Radiohead and catching up on music Id missed as a kid like The Smiths, I think I imagined I could write for pop groups, girl bands. I didn’t see myself as the singer at all but started to use my voice as an instrument for future stars.

“I worked for labels launching other people’s careers for ages, honing my record producing on the sly in the studio. I always fancied I could harness something special and produce something magical.”

“I learnt on the job... Never formally trained and never learnt to read music I started to write songs, and like landing axles I started to find it easier.”

In the beginning of 2017 she penned first album as Automaton “At The Edge” “The album is a collection of songs wrote almost consecutively like the albums Id listened to in the 90s where every song is different and has something to offer and the LP is a whole body of work.”
