Out as a lesbian since the age of 14, Parks started songwriting a year later. At college, she studied theatrical/performing arts, with a speciality in clowning. Her hobby then was being in a local band, where she performed as lead singer. During her time in the band, she was introduced to indie/folk/rock music, songwriting and playing guitar by her fellow band members. After a while the band eventually broke up, but Parks continued to write songs just for herself.
