I am a singer/songwriter and actor from Dublin, Ireland. I released my self-written/executive produced debut album 'Distance' in 2008, and the follow-up EP 'Resistance' in 2012 which achieved acclaim from critics and blogs in the UK, US, NZ & Ire. 2013 saw the release of an experimental remix EP 'Reincarnated', and the beginning of work on my second full-length album on which I explore urban and electronic influences. I am also seeking work as a screen actor for the first time in many years.
