Newham is also self-taught on piano and guitar, and wrote her first songs at age 14, and began performing as a singer-songwriter at age 16. She released her debut EP The Movement in 2013. She followed it with a second EP, Slow Dancing, in 2014. Later that year, she released her debut full-length, Take Me When You Go.
“I Love You Always Forever”, as well as the singles “Human Touch”, “Some Kinda Wonderful”, and “Mama Say”, preceded the album’s release.
