She is self taught on acoustic and electric guitar, bass guitar, harp, ukulele, drums, and is currently learning the flute and clarinet. Her life goal is to learn at least one instrument from each orchestral family and to play as many instruments as she can get her hands on!
Persephone also regularly performs live as a solo artist and in her band, Persephone In The Underworld. She has performed solo and in bands since she was 13 years old across the UK and Europe and even in Vietnam! When she's not on tour performing, she is home teaching in the quaint village of Banwell, on the outskirts of Bristol, or at her Studio in Buckinghamshire.
