It was a nickname that has stuck with me since college.

I most certainly do play live.
I perform all over the country and have also played around Europe (Hungary, Malta, Cyprus...)
I LOVE performing live, it is the one thing i'm addicted to.
My special moments are always when people tell you how much they like your songs, and take a genuine interst in what you're doing and follow me around the different venues I play in.
The best way to perform is with a band, it generates so much energy and buzz, the music just flows and u neva know what's going to happen next when u play live!!!

There are pro's and con's, I think it's made people listen to different genres of music so people are getting a little more eclectic with their music collection.
With myself, I will always go out and buy albums, I love having a hard copy, with a booklet I can read through because it's all part of understanding the artist.

Everything considered....

I've had my music played on many radiostations in the UK and Europe.
I have also had a mini documentary filmed about my life as an up and coming artist which was broadcast on cable t.v.

I have headlined roadshows and festivals, and get invited to perform at premieres, openings and shows and have recently performed with CLEM KURTIS of THE FOUNDATIONS, which was brilliant.

For this coming summer there will be some major festivals I will be performing at, and on THURSDAY 16TH MARCH I will be supporting BRENDA (X-FACTOR STAR) @ The Spice Longue in MILTON KEYNES (tickets available at www.spicelounge.org)it's gonna be a FAB night!!!

I'll try and make a short list of influences.
Mary J Blige, Babyface, Angie Stone, Erykah Badu, India Arie, Lauryn Hill, REM, Radiohead, Stereophonics, Kinks, Janet Jackson, Alicia Keys,.

I LOVE MALTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I record at an absolutely fantastic studio called Orchard Road Studios (www.orchardroadstudios.com) which has everything you could possibly need plus a lovely atmosphere with plenty off space, and chill out rooms and it's situated in lovely surroundings too. CHECK IT!!!
When I perform Live I have my own PA system, with light show.

Any feedback would be appreciated!!!! I always like to know what people think of the music.

Many Thanx
