About Me

I’ve been writing and performing for about 4 years now, with one of my more high profile gigs being for the England Rugby Team. I am currently working on a writing project with Peter Vale and will be shooting a video for Cry with Peter Cooke late June. 2006 was a very busy year for gigging and recording. I also performed live on BBC Radio Berkshire and Guildford’s 96.4 The Eagle. This summer my plan is to perform at as many festivals and charity concerts as possible. I have my own Management Company called X-Sightment Ltd, in which I organise live music events, artist management and also location management. For more information on X-Sightment please email [email protected]. I appreciate all feedback regarding my music, so please don’t be shy!"Firstly was Sophie Henderson, another acoustic act to open the night. Like her friend Mr Stephan Long, Sophie has a knack for writing perfectly beautiful songs. It was a joy to listen to her sing in a night that my stress levels and blood pressure might have caused some permanent health problems. A perfect voice singing songs of meaning and warmth come from this local beauty and I can't help but thank her for calming me with her melodic excellence. Thank you Sophie!" Joe Ginman-Velocity Events 8/5/07"Just 2 songs from ONSA newcomer Sophie tonight. This was pure quality though and a great way to start the night. The haunting and melodic 'Cry' (with guitar) and the excellent 'High Flyer' showing off Sophie's piano skills. She's a natural musician and we'll hopefully be welcoming her back soon."
