About

I am a Bristol-based singer-songwriter, recording artist and performer of more than twenty years, and community music facilitator of 5 years, making music because I believe it can bring people together. Music is glue: it helps us feel our shared humanity, be present with one another, speak difficult truths, and hold both collective joy and grief. I am increasingly drawn to music's capacity to heal the disconnection of our time—from each other, from the natural world and from ourselves—and through songwriting, performance, improvisation and collective singing, I seek to create spaces where connection and belonging can emerge.

 

My work resists easy categorisation, drawing on echoes of folk, contemporary composition and improvisation. As a multi-instrumentalist, each album explores new territory, shaped by changing collaborations and by the landscapes and communities I have encountered through years of living and travelling between the UK, Europe and Japan. This same approach informs my work as a community musician and choir leader, where I write songs in response to the people and times I find myself in, creating music that is discovered together. Whether on stage, in the studio or in a circle of singers, I am interested in those fleeting, transformative moments when music becomes a gathering and brings people together.

COMMUNITY

Community music facilitation has become a central part of my creative practice. Through my choirs, work with refugee and intergenerational groups, and projects supporting musician mothers, I create inclusive spaces where joy, wellbeing and belonging are valued above perfection. The songs I write celebrate community and the natural world, and all of this work is rooted in a simple belief: music is glue—a way of bringing people together and nurturing connection with each other, with nature and with ourselves.

I offer one-to-one sessions tailored to each individual's needs, drawing on my experience as a songwriter, performer, multi-instrumentalist and community musician. These sessions range from musical mentoring and creative coaching to vocal work and voice-based therapeutic practice, creating supportive spaces for expression, confidence, connection and personal growth.
