About Me

I like songs that tell stories about places and times I wish to visit. So each of my songs has a romantic story to tell with exotic settings and times such as snow-swept fields, dark forests and far off islands.
Some songs are more folk in nature, some more rock, some more ambient, some more tribal, some more classical. I hope you enjoy them.
A great many people say that I sound like Enya. She's one of my favorite artists, and I have picked up influences from her, Vengalis, and the many choral works I've performed in the past.
I like to meet all kinds of people. I'm hoping to meet people from everywhere. and I'm glad you stopped by.
You can find more music to listen to at my regular website, http://www.firewispmusic.com/If you like my music, drop me a note. I like to listen to all kinds of music, too, from ambient to industrial. So if you would like me to listen to yours, let me know.My album, Seeker of Dreams, will be coming out soon. Stay tuned!Thanks for stopping by!

Vitae Amandae was track of the day, then track of the week:
