ABOUT
Most of my childhood was spent on a rural patch of South England. Introverted, I was drawn to playing alone in the hedgerows and derelict buildings scattered on the surrounding farmland. School was hectic in comparison but I found refuge practicing in music groups which influenced both my social circles and choice of studies as I shifted through the state education system.
After college I acquired a diploma in Song Writing before moving into London, completing a degree in Music Technology. I stayed in the capital busking and working in hospitality as I tried to get a foothold in the music industry but as my lifestyle and finances deteriorated I carried these trades back to the coast. The pace of life in a seaside town felt slow after the city and although I was close to friends it wasn’t long before I felt restless. The ending of a toxic relationship was the catalyst for a new chapter as I bought a van, furnished it and left.
In the years that followed I travelled from the South of England to the edge of the Highlands in Scotland – busking for food and fuel, washing in public showers and sleeping on the roadside. The songs I played became my companions and sharing them the reason to uphold a nomadic lifestyle. However, eventually I craved the familiar, the deeper connections with people and places that strengthen over time. After circling the southern counties once more I settled in Brighton where I continue to base myself to this day.
Whenever I feel lost I turn to music. It’s remarkable ability to change the way we feel can alter the decisions we make and provide company on the paths we take.
