NEWSFLASH FOR FEB

2/1/2021

The past few weeks have been quite liberating for me as an artist. So happy to hear the UKSC songwriters competition judges specially commended three of my songs this year! Also, I am the American Songwriters Spotlight artist of the month! Was thrilled to be mentioned and have a little feature about my work and my mentioned admiration of the artist Nina Simone. So biggest thanks to the UKSC Songwriters team and the American Songwriters team! Also enormous thanks to my streamers and listeners who have been enjoying my tracks around the globe. I also thank Tune Distributor, Graeme Holdaway, Sky Production Studios for enabling everything to happen!

Hi Y'all! This past month I moved to the outskirts of Shanghai, close to the sea! It has also given me fresh inspiration to compose new ditties!

Autumn Leaves

8/26/2020

This year, I have found it liberating as an independent artist to continue to do my own thing despite COVID! Thanks to the internet, it's still possible to reach communities in different and inspiring ways under lockdown! I've really enjoyed the chance to work in a new way, connecting with musicians and listeners worldwide. Could this be the "new normal?"

Summer Solstice

7/3/2020

Happy Summer solstice! This summer, I have been gathering with small groups of poets, and writers from all over the world to spark new songs/poetry, and give new inspiration to my shows! I hope that you and your friends, loved ones are keeping safe and healthy at this time.

Eastern Fires

4/26/2020

Nearly Spring! Fascinating that 2020 is becoming a year of unique and unexpected pathways which maybe resonates with many! I have found myself returning to my older ways, a slower pace and following a gentler rhythm, frequently without wifi! Slowly I am piecing together fresh compositions and songs that feel finished and sometimes unfinished!

Winter Skies

12/21/2019

This winter, I traveled to Bangkok for fresh inspiration. I was interested to research more about Thai instruments and explore some of the musical pentatonic scales that create a beautiful effect musically. This next couple of months, I'm working on developing my own musical patterns and improvisation to give new meaning to my songs. I look forward to sharing some video with you soon! x

Blue Skies again!

9/10/2019

Shanghai life keeps me busy with new arrangements of old and new songs, this time I've added folk classical improvisations that add a different flavour to the show!

Soul-Folk in Beijing
