I'm a singer-songwriter, vocalist and guitarist focused on melodic pop/folk with strong hooks, emotional storytelling and a polished live performance. I’ve performed multiple runs at the Edinburgh Fringe and am currently gigging solo while developing my original material and working towards a debut EP. Alongside that, I'm ICMP and Pointblank trained and I’ve been continuing to build my production, songwriting and performance skills. I’m looking to connect with musicians who are musically strong, reliable, creative and up for building something with taste and energy - whether that’s live work, writing, arranging or recording. I’m especially interested in players who can bring feel, musicality and ideas rather than just “play the parts.”
