"Luisa" awarded 1st prize in KIAC Best of 2009 Song Competition

Welcome to my space on MySpace...

I'm an Dublin born singer-songwriter and self-confessed late-developer, now living in Freiburg, Germany.

After years of hiding behind bands, wishing I was Janis Joplin and trying very hard not to be so damned nice, I finally made peace with my voice and my undeniably suburban Irish musical roots. The result was Relative Calm, my first solo album, which was released in 2006. Thanks a lot to everyone who has supported it!

Together with regular band members Jens Lucht, Christian Kempa, and Patrick Hetzinger, I've just finished a follow-up album. This one is called Through A Webbed Window - some sample tracks are posted here. Hope you like what you hear...:-)

Cheers,

xM
