Honora started singing in public at age 16 by getting involved with a local community theatre group who produced musicals. She wasn't very confident. Honora struggled to connect with her voice and sometimes still does. It was during a personally difficult time, that she picked up one of the guitars she couldn't play and started strumming a few chords she had taught herself. It was pretty bad, but what happened to her voice was amazing. She was so busy concentrating on playing that her voice was released from it's constraints. She will put some of her rehearsal recordings up as well as some recordings of her song writing process. She is happy to share her journey with you, knowing that nothing she produces is perfect, and that's OK!
