I have been a vocalist, songwriter ,performer, musician for the last 15 years
born and bred in beautiful Aotearoa New Zealand I now live in London, UK where I am a fulltime musician.
My musical beginnings were in the world of Jazz but since the mid-late 90's my musical direction has been more diverse , I have devoted alot of energy to exploring the use of my voice as an instrument and exploring "Free improvisation" I have in this context performed with many luminaries in the field including Steve Lacy, William Parker, Maggie Nicholls, Phil Minton, and Jeff Henderson.
In conjunction with that I have been recording and performing original material over the last 7-8 years , this music combines many styles including, pop, jazz, folk, dance, rock, and experimental.
I am currently invloved in a long term collaboration creating and performing electronic pop music with the group Bark in Norway and you can hear this music on www.myspace.com/barksmusic.
Other projects include free improv collaborations with dave leahy, F.O A, jamie mccarthy and others, and a touring music/theatre show with musicians Jhanadara, and David Leahy called The pioneers www.myspace.com/3pioneers.
I am interested in blurring musical boundaries and creating new genres, writing good songs, and vocal experimentation, and creating great musical relationships.
I also work as a teacher, workshop leader, and composer.

Hey Angeline,
Hope all is well. You have a fantastic voice and the music really compliments that. I'll hopefully be making the show on the 19th with BARK (please send a reminder tho as my head is rubbish and Ive never been one for calenders) so I look forward to catching you live.
Yes, seeing as Pete is still in London I too was all alone on VDay. Good to hear things are steaming on ahead for you over there, guess I'll have to get my Angry fix on MySpace. Love you, give my love to G.

Hi Ange,
yeah I am getting a bit too hairy - must be spending far too much time in the studio.
I've moved up in the world and now have lots of big space to put all my recording shit so it's difficult to keep me out.
Your stuff is sounding great! Glad you like mine. The stuff posted currently is all pretty old but I'll be putting more stuff up once it's mastered etc.
Thanks for the lovely comment Angeline. I really enjoyed the gig too. Yeah ... our little trio seems to be developing a strange little life of its own. Really enjoy performing with you and looking forward to more .... Jamie x
Hiya! We, the dead in the woods obsessed, finally MEET (see the pic on one of my songs with me in similar situe - you got it right with the plastic, though - I got eaten a lot by creepy crawlies). Lovely nice music - interesting production, too. a for add! xxx
