I am a singer songwriter based in Orange County, California. I'm originally from England. I was born in London, and spent part of my youth in Belfast, Northern Ireland and Aldershot in Southern England. I later emigrated to the United States with my family.
I've always loved music. My parents would bring the classic sounds of the 60's and 70's into the home. So, at an early age I was exposed to songwriters like Lennon and McCartney, Pete Townshend and The Who, Simon and Garfunkel and many more. In the late seventies, I was inspired by the great songwriters of the time, Paul Weller, Dave Wakeling, Andy Partridge and Joe Strummer and started writing songs shortly after moving to California.
I write and record mostly at home in my music room. I believe that music is my salvation, my true passion and my only way of truly expressing how I feel. It's the only medium where I feel I can be totally honest and expressive.
I do hope you enjoy listening to my songs. Please check in here regularly, there is usually always something new going on with me when it comes to music.

Hey, no the was is just because she's married now and has a different name. I'll have to tease her about all that when I see her next! Its quite strange that when I mentioned you she said she knew you, but then Aldershot isnt that big I guess...seems like its changed alot. Ella x
