A vivid imagination and lots of free time. The dream of being a travelling performer...never was good enough at gymnastics to join the circus.

 

What's your favourite part of performing live?

The unmistakable feeling of Communion between a performer and audience. so elusive that you might not get it, but when you do its like lightning striking in the same spot.

 

Tell us about your latest release.

My latest so happens to be my first! It's an acoustic ballad written by myself and recorded and produced by the fabulous team down at the Magic Garden studios Wolverhampton. I guess you could say it was our lockdown passion project gone rogue.

 

What do you have coming up? 

Live performances... everywhere! Also in the process of producing a residency exhibition/ show in my home town Wolverhampton! Pplaying a home town show at Blossoms in Wolverhampton...
