As a composer was a finalist in the 2011 UKUnsigned Singer/Songwriter contest. I wrote and performed two songs for the indie musical film DMus. I composed the score for Magical Thinking, a short experimental film exploring the idea of different forms of magic, and scored the indie documentary BOI, which deals with transgender individuals and their journeys through every day life, transitions and their personal stories of gender and sexual identity.
As a singer/musician I have been playing gigs and recording for over 7 years. I can sing soul, rock, blues or jazz. For events and functions I have around 100 covers of artists from Oasis to Queen including Fall Out Boy, Jason Mraz, Ed Sheeran even as diverse as ABBA and Wheatus plus contemporary chart music.
I have been producing my own music for a couple of years. In April 2017 I completed writing, recording and producing a collaborative album with DJ and Producer SimonSays. The style is chilled electronica, driven by emotive vocals.
