I'm a lot like me... I was born in Surrey to a Scottish mum and a Kiwi dad and spent my first year on this earth in the beautiful Seychelle Islands in the Indian Ocean. Of course I dont remember much, but Im told that I used to sing during mealtimes to the staff at the hotel where my dad worked so I guess you can say I started young!
I grew up between here and New Zealand surrounded by music - mainly Lucie singing constantly around the house and encouraging my sister Nikki and myself to join in her musical performances for special guests! I played the piano and flute from early on and later in life developed my skills as a percussionist and generally shaking my thang, as those who have seen me perform will no doubt testify!
As a session singer/ percussionist (And occassional Flautist) I have performed live with a number of different artists including my sister Lucie Silvas, Judie Tzuke, Beulah, Delrosario (now Mamas Gun), Lazy Habits, and more recently Karen Louise.
I have just recently finished recording my debut album "a lot like me", which is now available on itunes and at gigs near you!
Lots of other interesting things have been happening lately, including my first national TV performance on Dutch TV channel RTL4 as well as other performances on AT5 and RNN7, plus several successful acoustic tours in the Netherlands. I have just returned from my latest tour in The Netherlands where I opened the show for the fantastic Wouter Hamel at 6 gigs on his latest club tour. Wouter is currently making a huge impact in the Dutch jazz scene, and it was a real buzz to be supporting him! Check him out at www.myspace.com/wouterhamel
I'm looking forward to an exciting and successful 2008l.
As I said in the beginning, Im Just A Lot Like Me, and I hope that by listening to my music you will discover who that really is! I know Im still trying to find out!
Thanks for dropping by
