I have gained alot of experience through training at the Hammond school, Merseyside Dance and Drama, City College (Manchester) and Liverpool Theatre School. I have also toured with Westlife, danced on the Smash Hits tour and appeared in a film called 'Everybody Loves Sunshine' featuring Goldie and David Bowie. I appeared in Corinne Bailey Raes video 'Like a Star' and in Hollyoaks as an extra. In more recent years I have worked as a dance teacher at Dramania and been singing my songs in and around Chester. I've just completed a foundation degree in Community Evangelism. I'm fortunate enough to have an excellent producer and co-writer, Neil Preston. We met at a songwriting class and have been working together ever since. Neil and I have been successful in the U.K Songwriting Contest 5 years running.

Story behind the song
From experience, people think that because you're a Christian your life should be perfect, but it doesn't work that way. We are all work in progress and always will be while we are on this earth. Ever since I let God in to my life in 2000 so much has changed in me for the better, but there is also so much 'to be' changed. Life is a constant battle between good and bad and everybody is on a unique journey. Where one person is struggling with one weakness, another will be struggling with another. The point of the song is not to judge people just because they don't appear to be living the Christian life. That was the whole point of the cross. Jesus took our sin so that we may be forgiven and have a relationship with God. When Eve ate the apple in the garden of Eden she set the standard of human nature. We will always fall short of perfection. Jesus came that we may be reconciled with God and we may have an eternal relationship with Him. When you let Him in to your life, not only does He show you that He's real, He show's you 'His' will for your life, which is so much better than our will! He created us after all, He knows what's best for us! However, it's a transformation that doesn't hapen over night and you have to make mistakes in order to learn from them. "He has rescued us from the power of darkness and transferred us in to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins" Colossians 1:13 (NRSV)
