The opening track from my musical ‘Or What’

Everything Changes - ‘OR WHAT’

Sung by Ozzy’s English teacher, telling him that he can’t be put off by his environment

Talent - OR WHAT

Its 1855 and news has reached London that Charlotte Bronte has died at her Yorkshire home in Howarth. People gossip about her late marriage having been too much for her and how she was meant 'to walk the moor alone'. Elizabeth Gaskell - fellow novelist and friend - takes the first string accompanied part and argues that London was too hostile towards her. Thackeray takes the second solo, apologising for not being there for her. It ends with Bronte reprising her solo song (yet to be recorded) saying she thinks society will find it hard to accept her, as a forward thinking woman. 

Again pardon my singing, and also the second string part has an awful rhythm change which i was too lazy to fix. The mic was playing up as well so just be kind.

She Walks The Moor Alone Demo

This song set in 1847 tells the audience how frantically both Thackeray and Dickens were writing to finish their books Vanity Fair and Dombey & Son. Various characters sing the verses telling us what they are thinking whilst the main characters are writing and the choruses are to be sung by the ensemble. This track is the first collaboration, the song was written by me but the production/orchestration was all done by Sophie Warner. A special thanks to her for bringing this track to life!

They're Still Writing - THACKERAY MUSICAL

The Opening Track of the musical sees William Makepeace Thackeray watching from the deck of ship, as his wife has thrown herself aboard. He travels to London, installs his wife in a home where she can be looked after, because he is not capable. Feeling alone he reflects upon his youth, remembering on why wanted to become a novelist. Enthused he realises he must 'Write It All Done' to block out the noise society is making up over his wife.

Write It All Down - THACKERAY MUSICAL

This is the second song of the musical, which introduces Charles Dickens. Dickens explains his youth and how he got to become who he he was. Though confident, Dickens is traumatised by his childhood which he has always been terrified would stop him reaching his dream of becoming a world renowned novelist.

I AM - THACKERAY MUSCIAL

Working on two Musicals currently… one is called ‘Or What’ and is about cultural appropriation in the education system. People feeling the need to change themselves and deny who they are in order to succeed. Raising big question and talking points is my aim…. Haha

The other is a musical about about the Novelist William Makepeace Thackeray author of the Classic novel Vanity Fair(1847). The musical tells the story of his 
turbulent relationship with fellow writer Charles Dickens. 

Everything i write myself. Currently i record vocals with a basic mic, with production by Sophie Warner and my sister, who are both incredibly talented with Logic Pro. Am looking for more people who would like to cooperate with me on my projects, any advice or knowledge at taking this further would be much appreciated. 

This is just a rough showcase of some of my work!
