Terri Walker (her song Brand New Day co-written with Sylvia Bennett Smith inspired me when times were hard and helped me to come to terms with myself)and Beverley Knight who has worked so hard for Christian Aid and AIDS charities and comes across as a fantastic human being. These two singers who have so much talent and have not had the acclaim they deserve.Sylvia Bennett Smith who on finding the impact that Brand New Day had on me, took the time and trouble to thank me for making her day.TaDa a new soul talent, worth taking a few moments out to listen to her music, she is working so hard to launch her career successfully.Rachel Bell who has the voice of an angel and who deserves to be heard.Aima, a my space friend from Boston, US who has a very wise head on her young shoulders and encourages me to write and share my thought and feelings.Geoff Thomas who having fought a successful fight against leukemia has devoted his life to raise money for others who face or will face that same battle.Anybody who shares my beliefs and ideals and who has a positive attitude and knows that they can add value to the lives of others.
Love music across all genres. My favourite artists include: Terri Walker, Beverley Knight, Bruce Springsteen, Gretchen Peters, Peppercorn (a.k.a. Rosie Jones) and Harry Chapin. Of the talent I've discovered here Tada, Danelle Harvey, Rachael Bell, Zuwa, Nayo, GK Real and Zein Simone certainly deserve a wider audience. They have tremendous ability and should be stars of the future.
