Since early‭ ‬2011,‭ ‬I have been filling my little car with my cajon,‭ ‬resonator,‭ ‬acoustic guitar,‭ ‬harmonica,‭ ‬mandolin,‭ ‬and capos,‭ ‬and journeying to find people and places I can lay all my heartfelt songs before.‭ ‬I have learned to become self-sufficient,‭ ‬including recording and hand crafting CDs.‭ ‬I even made a bed in my car so I could free up myself for opportunities‭ ‬-‭ ‬sleeping with my instruments in random darkened streets and wooded lanes all over Europe. 

I’m a contemporary troubadour,‭ ‬offering my songs in a way that allows our stories to mingle.‭ ‬I’m not trying to show off my music,‭ ‬rather use it as a way to connect.‭ ‬It’s about response,‭ ‬not payment.‭ ‬It’s about being moved,‭ ‬rather than entertained.

Everything I do is done for free,‭ ‬and with a hat laid down I ask‭ ‘‬Pay What You Feel‭’‬.‭ ‬The wonderful thing is that people do give and I have been able to keep going.‭ ‬But it is not only money people respond with,‭ ‬and over the years I have collected so many beautiful,‭ ‬touching trinkets and offerings in response to what I have offered.

Limiting your life to a car or a cabin,‭ ‬eating the cheapest food you can find,‭ ‬sourcing your clothes from the boxes people are throwing away,‭ ‬and sleeping in a car where the windows ice up on the inside during cold months can be challenging.‭ ‬But it is worth it for all the stories I have found,‭ ‬all those beautiful colours that have mixed with mine,‭ ‬making my colour so much more vibrant and rich with each tour. 

I'm 22. I just gave my life back to the Lord on the 1st March 2012 and I am on FIRE! My album, 'It's A Grey Area', when complete, will hopefully give you all an idea of where I came from, what I went through, and where I am now.

Peace out and God Bless xx
