About Me

I grew up in London listening to an old plastic radio, my mother’s vinyl, and the sound of my father’s broken guitar. I’ve always loved how honest songs impacted the people around me, and have been stuck on music since. I took that guitar and traveled to America to attend the Berklee College of Music in Boston, then moved to New York to work on my songwriting. I’m now 22, living back home in London where I’m gigging and working on material for my album. And now I have a better guitar. If you like my music, bring some friends and come along to a gig…hope to meet you there.

Tired, Wired & Back in London

Ergh..It's early. I can't sleep. I'm exhausted. So, I thought I would complain about it. Well I'm back in London finally. Still getting over my jetlag. The move was pretty smooth, besides a dread...

I call this, "The Tale of the Moving Musician."Not that anybody probably enjoys it, but there are times when I feel like I might loathe moving more than anybody else in the world. I've done it five ti...

Prickly Face or Where Did The Weekend Go?

I haven't shaved in about 2 weeks. This is part due to laziness and part due to the somewhat arctic temperatures of New York City. You see, when I flew back from London, I left all my luggage and stuf...
