I spent most of my youth trying to make music my career, enduring all the associated trials and tribulations. Going up and down the country, sleeping on disgusting floors etc. Things you eventually get sick of having to do.
During that time, I worked in Glasgow libraries. And that’s how people knew me. Whichever library you’d go into, you’d probably see me there. People thought I was everywhere at once. (Spoiler, I wasn’t).
Then at 24, I discovered I had a baby on the way. I panicked – bringing a child up in a one-bedroom flat without enough money wasn’t for me. “Oh no!,” I thought. “How do you make good money? Science!”
