ABOUT

I'm currently living in the US but will be moving to Sheffield in early 2025 and would love to make some connections first! If anyone is interested in chatting about the music scene there, I'd love to hear from you!

I'm mostly a singer-songwriter, but I play a handful of instruments and can do basic mixing and mastering. I'm hoping to connect with other musicians and start playing more live, though I'd also like to find musicians (particularly a vocalist) who would want to work on some of my songs and projects.

I mostly write songs with religious and spiritual themes and symbolism, often dealing with elements of conflict and tension between opposing beliefs. Also a lot of stuff around dreams (I'm a dream researcher) and family/childhood/psychology.

Below you will find the lyrics to one of the latest songs I'm working on!

"Starlines"
Run in place
Too quick to hide
Oh turn the face
Of father time

One embrace
Too much to find
The years I held back
Back from your eyes

They opened in the night
And I will never close again
Yeah you caught me by surprise
With the star lines on your skin

And if you see me my love
Just say a prayer but don't look above to the skies
Yeah heaven's just a place you could find me some time
Not here or there or ever quite right in your mind
Find me some time

Lost in space
Too much to hide
To show the world
Or keep inside

On my face
Enough to find
The gravity
That keeps me high

You fell for me tonight
And I will never rise again
Yeah you caught me by surprise
When my star lines drew you in

And if you see me my love
Don't say a prayer but just look above to these eyes
Yeah heaven's just a place you could save me some time
Not here or there or ever quite right in my mind
Find me some time

Yeah follow these star lines
I know that you're there
So follow me some time
I hope that you'll dare
To follow these lines
Find me some time

And if you see me my love
Just say a prayer but don't look above to the skies
Yeah heaven's just a place you could find me tonight
Not here or there or ever quite right in my mind
Find me some time
