Everyone always tells me my music is depressing and that I never smile, so I wrote 'Rawhide' to show I do actually have a happy side.  The upbeat track paints a picture of long summer days with my friends where I am my happiest and can block out the outside world. 

The lyrics also try to tackle my guilt and insecurities in actually feeling happy in my new outlook on life, as well as coming to terms with some of the realities of growing up. Overall the lyrics try to leave the listener with a sense of optimism and defiance, something that I am trying to utilise day to day. 

The track was recorded in my home studio before being mixed/mastered at Pirate Studios, London and will be released on all platforms on July 15th.

Rawhide

My new single 'Where Do I Go?' (released October 27th) was written at a crossroads in my life where I am getting older, trying to make better choices in life and to leave my past life/ways behind. 

This period of reflection means the song is pensive, looking back at what could have been but also filled with optimism and hope for what is ahead in life if I make better decisions. 

The song which is the first track off my 4th EP being released in early 2024, is musically still upbeat, a little less country than usual and was recorded at my home studio, then mixed/mastered in a studio in Norway.
