Born to British missionaries in Peru, 1981, and raised in Bristol, Rowley’s love of music began at home. “I grew up with my dad playing guitar and old Woody Guthrie vinyls,” she says. “That’s what sparked the flame. We used to sit round and sing the blues, so it all went from there—funny how it’s always little things that make big things happen.” Her career blossomed even further when she was spotted at an open mic night in London’s Ginglik at just 17. Rowley later trained at the Brighton Institute of Modern Music and built up a steady stream of support through several live performances.
