Early career

Jones showed an interest in music from an early age. In an interview with Tom Tom Mag, she stated that she started off playing the piano, and "although [she] liked it", the piano "wasn't exactly what [she] was looking for." Jones began learning the drums after a family friend left a kit at her house, having been taught basic beats by her cousin. She also noted: "My dad had some friends who would come around and play together on the weekends. I'd sit and watch them, and soon I started joining in." Not long after, Jones began drumming in local bands and subsequently touring the UK and Europe.[4]
