Alright... so my EP wasn't what I was expecting.

Yeah. I thought it would be a way to burst my new found identity onto the stratosphere of a fresh life; a harmonious world of wispy angels floating on harp-shaped clouds and singing in a perfect ten part harmony of…

One EP done!

So! I'm done with the first round of my music career and what a cracking year it was!

Demons and the Shadow Aspect

This is the most bizarre of all my stories. 

I had a friend whose company bothered me intensely and I could never work out why. I felt tired when she was around. I felt that I couldn't trust her. I…Read more

Intuition  

What is it about Intuition? 


Seems like anyone who has ever done anything interesting in life seems to rely exclusively on this one little faculty. 

 


Sensually, it seems to fall in its own category, not quite like love; something more…

Why Being Mystical Doesn't Mean You're Nuts

I always worry about the M word.

Surely rejection should be the worst thing. Or if not worst, than at least bad. Surely it can't be the absolute best thing that has ever happened to you? 

But it is. I chose to sing Dream Lover at Open…Read more

Open Mic UK Regional Finals  

September came and went. And tomorrow sees Open Mic UK Regional Finals. 

I've been deliberating about what to sing. There's always the piano-vocal option, but it does detract from the singing, particularly cos I generally find myself closing my eyes…Read more

Guildhall Norwich with the Grapevine

Surely the best show yet. It was the show that I'd been waiting for, a chance to play where Ed Sheeran had played before he broke, a place where people love to listen carefully to the sound, a place where…Read more

Open Mic UK

A crazy thing happened a week ago. After performing at Calm Festival, I headed over to Essex for what I thought would be any other audition: get up, set up, sing, go home. And that was kind of how it…Read more

Vocal Technique

This is probably incredibly dull to read unless you're a singer, in which case, it's the only thing that will never bore you:
  VOCAL TECHNIQUE
I released an EP a few weeks ago (though it's still with my publicist). The…Read more

Airlander hits the skies

It's been three years of supporting a filmmaker make his first independent full-length documentary film about the Airlander - the biggest flying object in the world.

Shaman sharing

It was nothing like I'd expected, though I didn't really know what to expect. 

So was my first meeting with a Shaman. She asked me first why I'd gone and I told her it was because I wanted to hear…Read more
