The Journey From Then to Now.. A Bare Bones History

I am a self taught musician, songwriter, producer and composer. 
I play by ear, heart and instinct. 
Songs come to me from somewhere above and beyond my intelligence. 
Having lived a hundred lifetimes I could tell you a million tales. 

Where to begin? Or end?
To cut a long and winding story short, here’s all you need to know about me… 
for now.

I’m wild at heart, a restless and free spirit. 
A nomad, through space and time. 
I belong everywhere and nowhere at the same time.
The only constant in my life has ever been, still is, and always will be.
Music.

I believe music is a Universal Language, like Morse Code, but better.
Music transcends boundaries. Music connects the dots.
We humans..
We are the dots.

I was born with music in my blood and my bones. Music filled my family home.
I think in melodies, rhymes and rhythm. I wake with songs in my head.

I ran away from my family at 16, with a man of ill repute, to be a free spirit. 
Cat by name, curious and reckless as a cat by nature, I embarked upon wild adventures. For years I explored the world and roamed the realms of relationships, through countless peaks and valleys.

During these wild years,  I turned my back on music, locked it in a corner of my heart. Perhaps someday I will share why.
For a while I suppressed and hid my musical gift, until I lost myself and almost faded from existence. 
When I finally accepted it and embraced it as my true reason for being, I threw caution to the wind. I dived in with wild abandon.

Proudest moments so far?

Since throwing myself fully into music, I’ve written songs for myself & other artists. 
I’ve produced my own songs and albums. 
I’ve arranged, produced and performed on, an album of Irish shanties for a theatre company. 
I have travelled all over the place again, but this time with my instrument, as it always should have been.
I have been so deeply honoured to have been invited to play to the crowds at country shows, festivals, parties, folk clubs and I’ve also busked quite a bit, including Portobello Market and Southbank.

I’m so thankful and proud to have supported some fantastic artists including folk stars Luke Jackson (a favourite of Jools Holland) & travelling troubadour Johnny Campbell. 
Meeting and supporting 90’s Brit Pop icon Nigel Clarke (Dodgy) was a huge privilege and highlight of 2025.

I’ve also been blown away and slightly starstruck to find myself sharing festival stages with Toploader, The Hoosiers, Liberty X, The Wanted 2.0 and Tinchy Stryder as well as other absolutely wonderful acts who played at The Summer Festival, Framlingham in 2024 and 2025.

Currently excited about?

During the month of February 2025 I wrote & recorded a 15 song album whilst recovering from a brush with Homelessness in an attic bedroom in West London. 
This album, “Grange Road” marks a turning point for me. 
With a folk-centric thread it explores a whole spectrum of styles and sounds and is my proudest and most authentic musical expression to date. 
After exploring music production for a decade this album is the closest I’ve come to my sound.
The praise and reviews have blown me away and I’m beyond excited to be planning a series of live shows to share the songs from this album with new audiences as far and wide as I can!

2026 is the year to hop on board my ship. I’ve got some seriously exciting shows and projects planned, including sharing more of my story with my followers. 
It’s going to be a wildcat ride.

All for One
One For All,
Shine.
