I was born in London, England to a family of musicians. My mother was an opera singer and my father played the violin for a symphony orchestra. They met while performing at the Royal Albert Hall when they were both barely out of their teenage years.
Growing up surrounded by music took a toll on my body. I've always had a tendency towards weight gain, particularly around my hips and thighs. As I entered puberty, my curves began to develop rapidly. My mother would often take me to dance classes where she'd teach me the art of ballet. It was during these classes that I realized my love for movement.
As I grew older, I became increasingly self-conscious about my body shape. My parents encouraged me to focus on developing strong core muscles and a high metabolism to keep my weight in check. However, no amount of exercise could completely hide my body's natural curves from view. It was during this time that I began to develop an interest in fashion and photography as a way to express myself through other means.
