SHEESH!

DUST

In these chaotic and threatening times, this Great Speech(Charlie Chaplin) in the Movie The Great Dictator from 1940  is more relevant and heart-wrenching to me than ever before. I hope you enjoy this song. I played the piano and electric guitar myself.
 I unfortunately can't play the piano, but I'm trying to use my keyboard more in my music, I improvised." Hope you like it 🎹🎸

The Grief of the Great Dictator

Is iT Me

I wrote this song in 2003 I believe.  WOW, that was a long time ago. I was about to move to Canada with my partner at the time and I was scared for the move but also believed it was for the best and the right thing to do. I guess I was feeling driven at the time too. The song is an uplifting and motivational song about starting over, being positive and being the best that you can be.  I produced this track in 2013 and it was on my debut album 'Shades Of Red' (which I recently took off of spotify) and will be reposting in the near future.  You will hear lots of piano and harmonies too!  Would love to hear your thoughts! Thanks for listening! 

Best Of Me

I wrote this song in 2017 and recorded it on my third studio album 'Durban Girl'.  I was fortunate enough to record this album in Nashville with my wonderful producer friend Fred Molin. (Billy Joel, barbara Streisand etc). It speaks to those who have lost someone in their lives.  I like to believe that our loved ones stay with us or at come to visit to give us strength as we live our lives.  It's as if in our darkest moments, they are there saying "I have faith in you".

Let Me Go

I wrote this song a while back after I had an 'awakening' of sorts.  I discovered meditation and my whole perspective shifted which changed my life for the better.  I wrote a song inspired by that time in my life... in fact, many of the songs from 'Durban Girl' were inspired by it.    Hope you enjoy it and if you do, leave me a comment so that we can connect! 

The album Durban girl was recorded in Nashville and was produced by the amazing Fred Mollin. 

Be Careful What You Wish For

Music is not just an art form for me—it's a lifeline, a form of therapy that sees me through the highs and lows of life. Each track I create is a piece of my soul, translated into sound. It's in the depths of melodies and rhythms that I find solace, pouring my emotions and experiences into each note as a way to heal and understand myself better. My music is a diary of my journey, a reflection of the inner workings of my mind and heart. When you notice an influx of new tracks, it's a signal that I'm navigating through tougher times, seeking refuge and expression through my music. This direct channel from my innermost thoughts to your ears is what makes my music raw, real, and resonant. So, as you listen, know that you're not just experiencing a song, but a chapter of my life, a moment of catharsis, and a piece of my path to healing. My hope is that it may offer you the same comfort and escape it provides me.
