She recentl finished touring in Tasmania with Festival of Voices Australia and other artist such as The Stiffys and The Sandy Warhols. Steel continues to makes waves in the music scene with her new single and music video for Miss Me receiving rave reviews. In an interview with Amplify, she said the song brings her back to her early teens and the sense of not belonging.
“My father abandoned my family, leaving my three sisters, myself and my mum, who at the time had cancer. We lost our home, and for a long time struggled to put food on the table. Since, I’ve struggled with the sense of not belonging, and my new single Miss Me was a catharsis for expressing some of that pain and anger,” Steel said.
