About Oz

About Me

MyGen Profile GeneratorWe met at University - Neil a music graduate, Julie a fine arts graduate. We are on a journey exploring writing together. Over the years we have written for musical theatre, music for dance, music for meditation and prayer, and songs - some of which you can hear on this site. We enjoy various styles of music and fusing them together in some way. It was quite a challenge to define ourselves when we signed up to "My Space"! We aspire to being heard and creating a sound that connects with the heart.
