Singer / songwriter Bowie Jane joined us in the Sheffield Live! studio last week for an interview with Communities Live! presenter Andy Cooper.

The London-based Australian musician has been living a double life: by day, a “mild-mannered” criminal lawyer, but by night a musician performing live 5 or 6 evenings per week and developing a successful musical career.

Bowie Jane’s secret double life captured the world’s interest earlier this year with TV, radio and press attention leading to more than 10,000 hits a day on her YouTube site.

Her lyrics tell the story of real-life situations with honest grit and candor, but with a sharper edge:  “I write about things that aren’t normally talked about, looking at things from the perspective that you’d probably ‘think’ about, but wouldn’t feel confident to ‘voice’.”

The interview coincides with the release of Bowie Jane’s new single, “Bad Boy” which “points the finger at celebrity bad boys with a reputation.”

What next?
