Wallen's 'Elements' Debuts at Proms Festival in London
Published on 7.21.25
Wallen premiered her "funky" new composition "Elements" at the Proms music festival in London, showcasing her broad musical tastes. She revealed a surprising appreciation for disco, reggae, and Afrobeats, including hits from Kylie Minogue and Diana Ross. Wallen credits a junior school teacher with introducing her to orchestral music, but received little encouragement to pursue a career as a composer due to societal expectations. Despite negative messages, she remained passionate about music and went on to become a renowned pianist, violinist, and singer.
