ABOUT

Im an acoustic singer songwriter based in bristol, been giging and playing out for around 10 years, and writing for as long as i can remember!
Upbeat, rhythmic chord progressions, coupled with strong and dynamic vocals, loaded with word play of real life situations, emoitions and observations.

I try to capture a positive and negative balance within my lyrical content, exploring the problem, success, solution structure where possible, and trying to merge poetry and spoken word, with my singing style.

The songs im proudest of are The Fish And The Duck for its ability to create a clear picture in the mind of the listener, and Eight, Three, One, for its simplicity of the chord progression, coupled with the poly rhythmic lyrics. Im proud of my conent as a whole, and look forward to challeneging myself more in the future, hopfully teaming up with other writers to see what magic can happen!
