About Me

Music is my life! I’m a singer, a songwriter, a classical pianist and I’m getting there with guitar! As a singer I have opened up for legend Youssou N’Dour and toured with him across Europe, singing on his duet “7 Seconds”. My voice has been used on TV ads here in the UK.
I love to sing, but songwriting is also a central focus in my life. I’m influenced by pretty much anything, but nothing drives me to write a song quite like a bad situation! For me, that’s one of the great things about songwriting: taking a negative thing and channelling it into something positive. I’ve written all the songs that appear here on this site by myself, so everything is 100% me!! Let me know what you think!
I love MySpace, because it gives the opportunity for me to connect with fans and for people who want to hear my music to hear it! I genuinely love reading every comment and message: they are such inspirations for me so keep writing them! Let me know what you want to hear/see on the page and I will do my best to fulfil requests. This site is a personal expression for me and I’m always updating, so please be patient with any imperfections! The imperfections make it beautiful anyway…
