Singer
Songwriter.
First of all, thank you for visiting my website, and coming here to read a little bit more about me.
This section will explore all my experience with songwriting so far.
Essentially, I have been developing my songwriting craft for many years.
Having written music from around the age of 12 years old, writing has always been one of the main passions, and constants, in my life.
As well as writing all of my own original material, I often play a number of instruments on the recordings. Predominantly lead and backing vocals, rhythm acoustic guitar (my guitar of choice is the Martin D28 for it's beautiful rich tone), software instrumentation, keys, drums etc.
For the times where I feel the tracks need external musicians, I source musicians and performers from around the world. Some in Los Angeles, others around the corner in the UK! Many of whom I've met on my various musical ventures, and all of them who I respect and love dearly.
Their professionalism only adds to the clarity and overall 'polish' that I pride myself on when listening to my catalogue.
As well as songwriting, I have also co-produced all of my tracks that have been released so far.
This is incredibly important to me, as often I have the soundscape in my mind already of how I envision the track to be when going into a recording studio. I have an additional producer alongside me to help engineer, but also balance those visions and offer different perspectives. This process has created, and will continue to create a collection of songs that I am so very proud of, and that I hope you enjoy listening to.
The co-producer and engineer that has worked with me on all my previous singles, and my upcoming debut self titled album, is called Miguel Seco. He is a studio engineer based in both Portugal and the UK, and a dear friend of mine.
My musical influences include Fleetwood Mac, John Mayer, Stevie Nicks, Sheryl Crow, Gerry Rafferty, Keith Urban, Jo Dee Messina. Amongst other popular music artists, and many other genres.
2019 was the year of my first public single release, 'Silver Lining.' This debuted on UK BBC Radio, and received positive feedback.
Since then, I've released a collection of singles; Desert of the Sea, Still Together, Letting Go, KARMA, I Don't Understand Why, Friends (Honey's Song) and God that have also featured on BBC Radio Stations across the UK for BBC Introducing.
Plus four official music videos available to watch on YouTube.
The majority of my tracks receive regular radio air time on both local and worldwide radio stations.
Have a listen to the tracks on the music page, visit my YouTube channel and various other social platforms and let me know which is your favourite track so far.
