Bio:
Even before I could play guitar I was fascinated with song-writing. I used to write lyrics for a friend and he would put them into music for me. However I was so envious of his musical ability I just had to buy a guitar and try it out for myself!
It turned out to be one of the best things I have ever done. From the moment I could string a few chords together I was obsessed with trying to write songs and transform my thoughts and ideas into music. Over the next few years I replaced my electric with an acoustic and began to grow as a singer as well as a songwriter.
During my gap year I travelled extensively round Europe and managed to pen some of my favourite compositions from this incredible time. In June of that year I worked at a summer camp in New Hampshire in the music department. During my time here I taught guitar and song-writing. Some of the classes I held manifested in to small band projects which proved very successful. Getting kids enthused about music and being creative was one of the most incredible things I had ever done.
Since then, life has been full of ups and downs and its my songwriting that has helped me rationalise whatever's going on. You could say it's my therapy. I hope you enjoy listening!
