About Me

My love affair with music officially began at eight years of age, when I got a guitar for Christmas (unofficially it began six years before that, it's a funny story actually but also slightly cringeworthy so I think I may have to keep that one to myself) I'd spend countless hours daily with my headphones on, trying to play along and making cute attempts at writing songs of my own; it was my dream at the time to be in The Bangles..alas it wasn't to be...I continued to play and write and I joined my first band when I was nineteen. In the years since, I've been influenced by artists such as Joni Mitchell, kd lang and Tori Amos and also educated by the musical tastes of the very cool people I've played with along the way. It's my hope to get an ep produced...watch this space...(no pun intended)...I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)

Wings

I wrote and recorded Wings in the one day, I suppose I wanted to try and capture the emotion as much as I could....Wings is about moments cos that's what life is all about.  You think back and yo...

"..you’re taking pictures of your soul..."

Something I love as much as my guitar is my camera so I thought I might share a couple of photographs I've taken with you on the player.  I've added a picture to each song up there that I feel is...

Freaky MySpace...

It would seem that MySpace is having a bit of a freak out currently...Since yesterday when I’m online, it doesn’t show that I’m online and apparently nobody else is either.  Now...

Beautiful Lie

I woke up this morning with a chord sequence in my head.  I grabbed my guitar and wrote Beautiful Lie.  It's very strange how songs come about but I've given up trying to make sense of ...
