You have extensive experience in the music industry. Could you imagine doing anything else?
No. I have being playing music since a very young age; and it is integral to my wellbeing. I love everything about music; playing, writing, teaching, performing, and especially singing.
You describe yourself as a multi-instrumentalist. If you had to choose only one, which is your favourite instrument to play?
Vocals. I believe the voice provides the rawest musical expression, and is a direct conduit from the soul into sound waves.
The release of your debut EP, Meaning of Life, is fast approaching. Describe the sound of the record in just a few words.
It’s an exploration of freedom through vocal soundscapes, and honest lyricism.
Why should readers come along to the release of Meaning of Life at Bar 303?
My debut EP Meaning of Life is inspiring, passionate and heartfelt, expressing themes of both personal freedom and humanity, performed with powerful vocals and creating a warm encompassing soundscapes of music in the folk rock idiom. The title track Meaning of Life recently won Best Song at The Akademia Music Awards in January and is receiving international attention.
