I was born in East Belfast in 1956. After losing my sight in 1980, I turned to writing as a way of navigating and expressing my world. I am a long-time member of Ards Writers, and have written over 300 poems, lyrics, and short pieces, with several being published into print. Known by my friends as “The Romantic Poet,” I continues to write from my home by the sea in Portavogie.

I create music and art to honor the fullness of human experience—its beauty, its ache, and its untamed truth. My voice carries the dual fire of hope and heartbreak, refusing to censor the complexity of love, loss, identity, or injustice. Whether in moments of sorrow or celebration, I make space for others to feel seen, heard, and healed. I believe that through vulnerability, we reclaim our power—and through creativity, we change the world.”

I do not shy away from the dark—but I do not let it consume me. My lyrics are a bridge: from isolation to connection, from despair to defiance, from silence to liberation. I’m here to sing for those who’ve lost their way, who’ve been told they’re too much or not enough. I’m here to remind them that they matter. That we all do.

I stand for radical honesty, inclusive love, and creative freedom. Through every verse, beat, and visual, I aim to spark feeling—and plant the seeds of a better, kinder future.
