About Me

It's the little things in life that inspire me to write music... I love blue and black, French wine and croissants (c'est tres bon!), Spain, Putumayo in front of a fire, Jamiroquai anywhere, Goldfrapp dvd's, arb French movies, Apple Mac's, frost on the ground and shouting in the traffic. Dont dig phones and crap ringtones, shitty bands (most rock bands), wearing high heels, funny smells, Joburg, boring atonal electro shit (it's not music!) and people that think they are better than anyone...get a life!

Yokimono

Yokimono was inspired by Royksopp and kimonos one bitchin winter in Cape Town. There is nothin like a good key to turn me on, and Royksopp is great for not sticking in the same key like so many musos ...
