Penny is a UK Singer/Songwriter originally from West Sussex, but now living in Hampshire near London. Her love of music came from her dad who was in the Navy, instead of reading her children stories at night, he would sing and play her country songs on his guitar. As a result she would lay awake at night making up her own songs and dreaming of a future as a singer.
