After spending 2 years as part of a trio, I'm enjoying performing as a solo artist...although every now and then you will catch me on stage with some truely wonderful musicians helping me out!
Influences
The musicians I love...
Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, Damien Rice, Stephen Fretwell, KT Tunstall, Kirsty McGee, Eva Cassidy, Kirsty Macoll, Dolly Parton, Simon and Garfunkel, Ryan Adams, Brett Dennen...
I'll listen to anything....at the moment I'm in a Bluegrass phase, i hope it will pass soon!
Hey! Im a 21 year old singer/songwriter from the depths of the Suffolk countryside....
I spend my time writing music, listening to music, playing music, thinking music, breathing music....you get the idea! For me, it is what makes the world go round.
From a young age I knew I wanted to be involved in this art. Although at the time I was blissfully unaware of the hard work and sacrafice that goes along with trying to make it your career. Listening to bands and songwriters in the local pubs and on the local folk scene, I just saw people having a good time and I wanted to be directly involved with it. I started studying piano, clarinet, saxophone, singing and eventually the guitar before I naturally started writing my own music. I found a real passion here, and haven't stopped writing since.
I play pubs, clubs, theatres and recently as one third of the pop band "Wildflowers" who were lucky enough to support Take That on their 2007 tour. I am now working as a solo artist, writing new material and finding myself as a musician....and I think I'm almost there.
Thanks for finding my page, have a listen and any comments are greatly appreciated!
