About Me

After years of singing in your typical school musicals I finally got a break when I entered a competiton held by Radio Tay called Mad For It. The prize was to record a song and then perform it at the Caird Hall Dundee. A friend and I were lucky to make it through, auditioning with a rather shameful cheesy pop song that I had written. We then went on to write a new song to record called You Been Rockin Me which I have to admit is even more shameful! Anyways we had fun and at the age of 16 playing in front of a crowd of 1500 was pretty much the highlight of my life so far! From here on my friend and I were determined to write more but after a year or two our musically tastes differed and I began focusing on my own material. Since then I have mainly been writing and recording material and for the past year and a half I have been playing open mic nights around Edinburgh! After studying three years of music performance I am now currently studying an Advanced Diploma in Music Industry and Marketing! This has opened up new avenues for me and therefore I have recently been helping out local bands to secure gigs and help with promotion which I really enjoy! MyGen Profile Generator
