Written as I was wondering one day what a conversation between us and the Earth might sound like.

When I was a kid my parents started work early which meant I went to my friend’s house every morning before school. I’d eat my cereal as quickly as I could so that I could squeeze in 10 minutes on their piano before we had to leave. I couldn’t reach the pedals yet but it didn’t stop me. 

The rest is history. 

I draw inspiration from all sorts of places, especially from the music I surround myself with. One of my earliest memories was hearing an Enya cassette in the car. Those huge vocal layers and massive, sparkly synthesisers had me hooked. Ever since then, synth pop, old and new continues to be a big love of mine. From the catchy hooks of the Stock Aitken and Waterman hits to new, Synthwave, Italdisco and Aggropop records being released today - I can’t get enough.

These days, wherever the sounds of the synth can be heard is my home. Shoes on or shoes off, I don’t mind, I just hope you’ll stay a while and maybe enjoy my tunes while you’re at it. B x.
