Annie Hamilton was lead guitarist in Sydney band Little May, and currently plays guitar in Jack River. But she is also active outside the music business. She studied textiles and graphic design, and started her own clothing label. Next to that, she recently also started a career as singer-songwriter.

Hamilton started working her own music during a creative residency in the tiny, isolated Icelandic town of Ísafjörður. She spent two months holed up in her apartment, writing new songs. Fade and My New Tattooed Chameleon were the first fruits of that period, and she just released her third effort, Kitchen. A melodic, accessible rock song with a sound halfway Heather Nova and The Breeders.
