This complicated backstory makes for a hell of a mouthful and is something that Miss Black frequently pokes fun at: “I’m an ‘International Woman of Misery’…”.

This slightly sardonic, fatalistic penchant is a recurrent theme in her music and what first caught the attention of the blogosphere as well as people like Elton John, Diplo and actress Chloë Moretz - with her debut song ’27 Club’ racking up over 2 million in a matter of months and hitting the top 100 most shazamed songs, with no label backing.

After being somewhat derailed by a bad record deal, she moved back to Los Angeles where she started taking control of things herself. Since returning she has learned to be fully self sufficient. Overseeing releases, directing and editing videos, and even doing her own PR. Something she says she finds very empowering

It’s an attitude that so far seems to be proving fruitful. Her star on the walk of fame may be a little ways off yet, but with recent songs like ‘Waterbed’ and her melodically refreshing new offering ‘Spaceman' - it’s a star that seems destined to rise.
