My debut album 'Blue & Green' is a reflection of the world as I see it. Where we live is such a beautiful place, yet we are ruining it by de-forestation, over fishing, pollution and climate change. No one is sure whether even a fraction of this damage can be undone and that leaves my heart feeling very heavy.

We share our planet with a breathtaking diversity of life. Our little oasis surrounded by millions of miles of cold empty space is home to so much beauty, yet at an ever increasing rate we seem to be letting it slip through our fingers.

More and more of my time is spent reflecting on whats around me, wondering just how many whaling vessels are out there, how much rain forest has been lost, how many species will today become extinct and how much ice has disappeared into the sea.

Our planet, our Earth, our home is such a wonderful and unique place and we all need reminding just how precious it is. As guardians surely we can find a better way.
