MUSIC IS FOOD FOR YOUR SOUL.....A SONG WRITER RELIES ON THEIR GIFT TO PUT FOOD ON THE TABLE
Songs on this site are written or co-written by me. Some of the songs are sung by myself - others by wonderful Nashville singers.
If you are a recording artist or publisher and interested in any of my songs - Please give me a shout !
Hi All ,
I returned to the music world in 1998 as a performing artist and aspiring songwriter. I have been very fortunate to have sung in a diversity of places either solo or part of a touring group. Stage or live TV/ radio in great places ... Nashville and New York . Corporate events in France and International events in Japan(singing in English and Japanese) Thanks to older and wiser people who gave me 'a break' in the business.
Of course I can't leave out our own scenic Ireland from beautifully preserved old ornate theaters to spectacular modern ones like The Waterfront in Belfast. I am grateful to have met many amazingly talented people and had unforgettable experiences( from singing an anthem in the middle of a stadium in front of thousands of people to a tiny rural pub of 20 .
My stage gear has been put away after a solid 9 years singing . For the last 2 years I have been concentrating on Keeping up with my two kids in this Tech world :) Making sure my husband ,kids and dog get fed when I remember -if I'm in 'writers mode' lol ! song writing/ co writing - trying different genres, rock, ballad, country and learning, learning, learning everyday from listening to great artists and top songwriters as to what makes a good song great .
If I can make a tiny difference for the better in someone else's life with my music , then I am blessed. My ultimate wish is to get a song taken up for film / TV.... Ok - don't laugh ! I can just hear you say - yeah ! you and a thousand others lol ! but who knows ? A Girl's gotta try !
I love people with a great sense of humor who can laugh with others and at themselves. I admire every songwriter who has had the courage to get up on stage for the first time at a writers night and sing their hearts out with their unique creations.
Have great respect for every person in the world contributing to make a difference in the lives of others who really need it - no matter how big or small the action. A smile and a warm blanket will be remembered for more than one cold day.
IN BRIEF:
Born in London to Irish parents, my family returned to Ireland in the early 70's.
I come from a musical family background . Having started singing on stage at the tender age of 11. Being an inwardly shy person , stage performance gave me the ability to gain confidence . Member of a local cover band at 16 . In between then and now, Life has taken me in many directions with varied careers, finally landing where I am at this moment in time.
I feel at home as a song writer in this wonderful wacky world of music and continue to love it. It can make you laugh, it can make you cry it's in your blood 'til the day you die!! Corny but true !
'IN MY HEART' dedicated to my dear friend who's husband suffered from Alzheimer's disease
