Her song " Rain" uploaded for Triple j unearthed, was written in Dartmoor Victoria in 2010 and Fiona sent guitar and vocal tracks to Stephen Edwards in Sydney, then later sent harmonies and violin via emailing from home PC recording, Stephen added bass , drums , strings and mixed song in his studio. The project of Rain went for a few years till 2013 .This song to Fiona is for victims and carers and families struggling and fighting cancer, and other illness our loved ones suffer from and all we want to do is take the pain away from them and make them well again. Music has become to Fiona more than enjoyment and gigs but a way to express and release emotions, music is the essence of living , dreaming and Being who we are.
Fiona's recent additions to Triple J Unearthed include "Leave me be" and "University Café", written and recorded on her iPad App Garage Band, whilst being a student at Deakin University in Victoria.
