I am a singer/songwriter/youthworker/artist/prophet kind of guy. For me the music is about finding the sounds that tell the story that's wandering through my mind. I like to hear words that challenge as much as they inspire and I like to see people who do the same. I've been writing songs since the age of 4 and recording since the age of 16. My new album, "Work in Progress" is now available on iTunes and Napster.

Everything
fascinates me. I'm interested in everything except for golf and
football, and actually pretty much any sport. but I love music and
art and food (lots of food), films and TV. Deeply inspired by Greenbelt Festival. I'm pretty much a fan
of the whole creation thing, you know trees, mountains, water,
sunsets, the sun and other stars, nebulae, galaxies, noise,
elephants, light, bananas and particularly ginger. Can't beat a
bit of fresh ginger.
