Hi! I'm Bel. I'm a writer, singer and performer. Looking for other musicians to collaborate with - guitarists, drummer, keys/synths/experimental sounds and any other wild and wonderful instruments to share in this project. We will record, release, gig and have fun!
My writing, performance and style is aligned with: connection, spontaneity, aliveness, tenderness and playfulness.

EQUIPMENT
I trained as an actress and do embodiment work which contributes to performance presence. I have a catalogue of music I have written and continue to write and record, with ICMP London in their Songwriting Masters.
I have aco and ele guitars, shruti box and various unusual percussive and wood instruments, amp and quality mics.
