This song was inspired by the continuing strength, resilience, wisdom and courage of the First Nations women I have come to know since living on beautiful Bundjalung Country, in the Northern Rivers of NSW. Australia has a legacy of repression post the Assimilation Policy and Stolen Generations. When meeting with First Nations Women after performing at a Cultural Event called the Returning, I learned the importance of de-colonising our minds and incorporating the ancient wisdoms of First Nations peoples in our every day lives. This song, 'My Joy' was inspired by and written for women. The rhythm I play in the introduction is an ancient rhythm called 'nongo' that survived the trans-Atlantic slave trade - I play it in this song to call down 'CHANGO' - God of War and DRUMS - because the survival of Indigenous wisdom is at War with Dominant Culture, Cultural Blindness and racism.

MY JOY

Majestic Pride is about a woman who questions reality because she feels her ancestors and relates to their story more than she does with the world around her. The audio is from a video camera, a desk mix is coming x

Born was one of the first songs I wrote, I've re-written it more times than I can count and recorded at least 5 different versions - this is special because I'm playing piano in front of an audience and singing the song live, which is a massive big deal for me, love Cyn x

Born - Live @ 505, The Venue Apr 2017

Tears in the Rain is my newest song, this was the first time it was ever performed live. It's extra magical because of the 3 Bata drums being played, Iya, Itotele, and Onkonkolo.
