As one of Tate McRae long tie supporters, seeing her grow as an artist from a piano and camera has been lovely to watch, Watching her grow from when I originally found her 2017 I can see a big contrast in how much she has grown. I am performing her own song ‘Slower’ as a cover for the showcase, and a cover I will also upload to my YouTube channel.
I see myself a lot in her, since she started out by recording on her phone, playing on her piano, doing covers and writing original songs, I look up to her for her song writing skills, and her voice.
