Lockdown album written by Bungay singer, 16, after cancer diagnosis
Pearll, who is now in remission, says she saw the spare time as an “opportunity” to record songs. …
A 16-year-old singer-songwriter has said cancer treatment and lockdown gave her “the best opportunity” to make a first album.
Pearll wrote and recorded Volatile in her bedroom in Bungay, Suffolk, after she was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in summer 2020 and hopes it will raise money for the Teenage Cancer Trust.
She said: “It was something I always wanted to do and I thought, if you don’t do it now, you might not get the chance and I thought, this lockdown, a lot of spare time, is the best opportunity.
“The cancer stuff played into my emotions, which did inspire quite a bit of my writing.”
Her cancer is now in remission, she has returned to school and said she hoped to be able to perform live soon.
