About Me

Music has always been in the family, my mum is a classically trained soprano, my eldest brother Gez plays guitar and sings, my other brother Maynard plays piano and various irish instruments and my sister Berenice sings. I started getting guitar lessons when I was 12 and disovered secretly that I could sing afterwards (ive always been a bit embarresed singing in public). My eldest brother saw potential in me and got me out gigging with him when I was 15. Since then Ive done many gigs for all sorts of events and worked with incredible musicians. Tim cross produced two albums with me and played keyboards with me at gigs. Im currently in two bands in England 'Threo' and another function band with no name as of yet, all these musicians appear on my album. Ive never been much of a writer but hope to find inspiration when I go to Australia for a year in november. I could go into greater detail about my progression of life into music but that would be too self indulgent for me! By the way the songs 'bye bye' and 'different place' are my own, the other two are covers.
