SUNSHINE Coast musician, Cora Ledwith, has teamed up with Maleny music Producer, Nyssa Ray, to create Ledwith’s first single as a solo artist at just 16-years-old.
Ledwith says her single ‘Romeo and Juliet’, which comes out on all music platforms on February 24, is an energetic pop ballad about a complicated love story.
“It’s about wanting a perfect love story and relationship, but it’s also about realising that the person you think you want that with, you can’t have it with them,” she said.
“The song is a mix of emotions… and it’s kind of contradicting throughout the song.”
The singer/songwriter says the production process with Nyssa only took five weeks, and that it was a great experience working alongside the local producer.
“She did the bass, guitar, and drums and everything… it was really fun working with Nyssa, it was a long process I had about five sessions with her because I’m a perfectionist,” Cora said.
“…So, we laid down all the basics of the song and discussed her ideas and my ideas and combined them to make better ideas.”
Cora has been singing her whole life, gigging all around the Sunshine Coast and Brisbane, and says she loves performing and seeing people’s reactions to her music.
“I think I just love the thrill of how I can express myself because I’m usually quite socially introverted and I just feel like I can really express myself and be who I am when I’m performing,” she said.
Most local radio stations will be playing her debut song on its release day, so be sure to keep an ear out to catch it.
