'About Penny'

''As a teenager I travelled to California and fell in love, not only with America, but also with

country music!  Inspired by this experience, I started writing my own songs and eventually began performing live. In 2018, I released my first U.S.A. Single 'Steel Horse' with Nashville based record label -'SSM Nashville'.

I performed at various venues including the 'CRS' - Industry Showcase at the Omni Hotel, Nashville.

'Steel Horse' expanded into the larger markets, & in 2019, entered 'The Music Row' Country Breakout Charts 

the only British Artist in the Chart!

The video for 'Steel Horse' was taken up by Heartland TV, Country Fix and a variety of TV stations across U.S.A.

In the UK, 'Steel Horse' reached No.2 in the British & Irish Hotdisc Charts & in Europe was taken up for air-play

in various fashion stores across Switzerland.

Another of my U.K. Singles, "I'm Fine" reached No.3 in the UK Country iTunes Chart & No.2 in the Belgium

Country iTunes Chart. '

In 2019, I returned to Nashville to perform again at 'CRS' hosted by Warner music & released a second Single

''Gone'' through SSM Nashille.  In 2020, ''Gone'' also entered the 'Music Row Country Breakout Charts' U.S.A. 

Currently writing and recording in Nashville. Exciting news coming soon!
