She is a hero, fighting for what is right, brave in her opposition to hurt in all its forms.
She is powered by her inbuilt 'relationship with Spirit and Nature', and says she 'dedicates her life to exploring the mechanisms of All That Is', as well as expressing her gift, which is to perform live and, more recently, compose and produce her own music.
Fiona writes thoughtful, lilting and rhythm-based ambient/electronica music at her home studio in Wellington, New Zealand. Her music has been compared to Kate Bush, Massive Attack and Billie Eilish, and has been described as 'atmospheric and slightly disturbing... in a good way!'
