It was Morgan who reached out to Gemma to start a band back in 2014. Prior to the creation of the band she had been working as a singer-songwriter on her own and her move to contact Gemma was a decision of two folds. On one hand, she wanted to collaborate in a true sense with another musician but also, as she herself puts it: “I really sought out that kind of relationship.”
What kind of relationship I found myself asking? Well, as the girls explain to me, they went from not knowing each other to suddenly spending all of their time together. “I guess it’s surreal to meet someone and then, all of a sudden, spend all your time with them. We just decided to try this.” And we’re certainly glad they did: Saint Sister has been rising through the ranks of up-and-coming artists, producing earthly and natural tones to delight the ear.
Curiosity got the better of me and I had to ask about their name, Saint Sister, one they had clearly put a lot of work into.Morgan also found the time to share an interesting titbit with me: “We were originally ‘O Sister’, a name my mum had come up with”, she says with a reminiscent laugh. She goes on to proudly state Gemma was the person who thought of Saint Sister.
