I've been addicted to music ever since I can remember. I love writing compositions and songs and trying to express a mood or a feeling in musical terms.
I've recently released my 1st acoustic EP 'Waltz for You' which is available for download on itunes. It features Guy Traviss on guitar with myself on vocals and piano. You can download from itunes by clicking here:
All the songs and demos that you hear on this page are written by me. I am currently working on my debut album which I hope to release later this year.
In the meantime, thanks for listening and for all the feedback - keep it coming! Love and peace or what you will.
Such beautiful travels you offer us through your gorgeous and graceful music. We especially love your wonderful music with Julien's strings... Just a real jewel of emotions !
May butterflies always dance with your smile, and never forget to let your eyes fly with them !
Hello Odette, I hope you are well and having a good week:)) I am having a big problem with my programme so I can't really do much b4 next week and I hope that you will like what will come from your piece. I have so many different ideas that it is difficult to decide which way to go but I am sure that you will be delighted by the finished product. I am now going to take a break listening to your songs Kind Regards. Denis.x
Sorry to see that you've taken down the video from the GITF, Odette. Just listened to the poignant She's Leaving and now I'm feeling a sense of loss...oh dear! Hope all is well with you. Peace and love. Barry
Thank you Odette !Sending Love and Light out to you !Have a wonderful weekend !James.PS Really looking forward to the new album ,the tracks sound fantastic !
Odette, Listening to ''Sitting and Talking''. I wouldn't even call it a demo. :-) Can easily stand on its own without any further enrichment in production or additional arrangement changes. Lovely musical treat to hear it. Cheers
Bonsoir Odette, Just coming back down to earth after listening to your song " Sitting and Talking ". I like the piano very much its hauntingly beautiful;) And your vocals take it to another level. Have you considered using other instruments alongside your piano? Amitier. Denis.x
