August 2024

So excited about The Battle of the Billionaires (released August 2024 on all digital stores)which will be my first single release from my work at the residency in Memphis. Calvin Lauber made this very special with an impeccable mix as well as his work on bass. And amazing work from drummer Shawn Zorn (Dashboard Confessional).  Here’s a sneak peak

 

April 2024

It’s been an absolute game changer to work with engineer/mixer Calvin Lauber (boygenius /Paramore/ Julien Baker) on some of my new material from the residency. it’s really embellished and perfected the sound. Can’t wait to release this stuff. I think the Battle of The Billionaires will be the first single. This was recorded with him at Memphis Magnetic Recording Here’s a video excerpt i did for my friend Wayne’s awesome Substack blog and soon to be podcast @musicfragments.

September 2023

I am in an obscure small southern town of the USA that you won’t have heard of. It’s called Memphis, Tennessee. It’s a shame there’s not really any music culture here but I’ll make do! Mwahahaha, what a crazy cool city! It actually is a very small population which makes it all the more crazy that such incredible internationally known music has come from here; not to mention crucially important political and social movements and moments. I feel very privileged!

“Shut up and tell us why you’re there” I hear you scream. Oh sorry yes. Well, I was very fortunate enough to be chosen as an artist in residence at the incredible Crosstown Arts in midtown Memphis. This basically means that for 3 months i get to write and record music and figure out the meaning of existence! Actually it mostly means i get to touch a piano every day, which is something I think i might need forever more! Memphis and Crosstown is bursting with talent and the other artists here are really inspiring. Fingers crossed I will get to perform in December in The Green Room where I’ve already seen a bunch of shows; it’s a really wonderful space.

I will keep you posted with postings.

 
 
 

May 2023

 

I’m not gonna lie, the pandemic made me question a lot about writing and performing. i didn’t know if i was gonna do it again. But while i was busy deciding, a few songs crept up on me and insisted on being finished. And then i met a really nice guy (imagine, in New York!)  - an engineer / producer who I’ll be recording with. He pushed me to perform and offered to play bass. Sam is the cool looking one in the photo! This was my first show at a venue in 3 years - Rockwood Music Hall- one of my faves!

Annoyingly, the show went well so now i have to do carry on! What I’m really trying to say is “I’m back baby!”
