My Songs…
…capture bittersweet moments. They’re about longing and desire, restlessness, the passing of time, and our journey through the complexities of modern life.
I came to song-writing later in life, drawing on decades of listening, playing, soul searching and experiences to find my unique voice.
My influences are vast and varied, from pop to prog rock! But key inspirations include Laufey, Joni Mitchell, Burt Bacharach, Carole King, Queen, Ben Folds and Stephen Bishop.
Mayfly
“Don’t delay - we only have one day!”
The Mayfly knows all about finding love before time runs out, and that’s the inspiration for my next single. A song of longing for reconnection as we get older.
