About Me


Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor - Hot Graphics

I'm a Bristol Girl that sings basically..... music has marked each pleasure and pain that I've stumbled across in life so far. Whether it's memories of Listening to Toots and The Maytals whilst deep cleaning the kitchen with mum or listening to weather Report really loud with my dad and siblings when mum was out on a late shift or listening to folk music when my mum was feeling sad, there was a song or sound for every feeling whilst growing up. My love affair with music goes way past basic seasoning and whatever I'm doing now is a just a little bit of what's to come. My stuff is a bit of a mix up really, when I sing my heart gravitates to old school soul,motown,gospel,country,folk,blues,jazz and hopefully these styles are reflected. I started singing the greats in my room and then years later I thought maybe I should actually try and write some songs and so I did. It's all a bit experimental right now. So far my recordings are really basic, their recorded on a voice recorder the ones that you use for lectures. They are positioned in random spots in my cluttered dining room..so thats why you can hear me climbing up the furniture to hit the stop button, but I like to describe the sound as rustic. but I'm hoping to change that soon and get something a bit more professional down. I'm looking to hook up with some musicians,producers etc to help develop my sound, get the creative juices flowing and move things along to the next level. I really want to get some live perfomances on the go soon as that's where the magic happens and I get to sing.
