Biography[]
Born to a Scottish-Iranian mother and an Iranian-Puerto Rican father, Fekri grew up outside the village of Aberdeen, the youngest of three in her family. She is of Puerto Rican, Arabic and Irish descent. Fuelled by a love of singers and bands like Madonna, Amy Winehouse and Red Hot Chili Peppers and inspired by their songwriting, hidden away in her parents’ shed she taught herself to play instruments by ear and penned her own songs where nobody else could hear her sing.
Desperate to learn to play the drums, when her parents refused her the money to buy her own kit she resolutely entered a local singing school to win cash prizes and pay for her drums with the proceeds. Her musicality and determination flourished and as a consequence, the songs she covered gained an unexpected but welcome fan base who were ready to support her in the next stage of her music career.
