It took losing my voice to find it.

Born in America, moved to Australia where I am living as a citizen. I have been many things in the music industry to survive. There've been many wins and losses. 

I am a songwriter/singer/musician/artist who's been at it for my whole life and I am no spring chook. As of March 2023, I am re-emerging after quite a hiatus. I have been writing the entire time but nothing past a demo in many years. 

I started releasing music again in March 2023 because a random young person found my demo reel of "Call The Police" on social media and wanted to know if I would please 'put it on Spotify'. I thought... Ok. Once it is mixed and mastered... I will let go of my bitterness about the devaluing of music and figure out how to get Call The Police on Spotify. And I did. And..... here I am updating SoundCloud after eons. Maybe one day I will be able to buy a sandwich with the Spotify/all the rest of the "big" retailer proceeds. ;) 

I am e-learning the ropes of the indie scene. I love that you don't have to send 8X10's /make landfill press kits stuffed with jewel cases and other crap that will be here long after we've gone. This would have to be in my top 5 favourite things about being indie today. :)

Today I am re-emerging with my most authentic voice as I am doing everything solo apart from delivering my tracks to Digital Droo in the states for mixing and mastering. This is the first time being "on the radar" without a band.. duo... team behind me. I am off the leash now doing whatever I please. 

I have been through the fire and come up gold in many ways (alchemy of the soul) but the most significant kick to the guts that brought me to a massive reinvention was losing my voice to Vocal Cord Palsy in 2017 (cause unknown). Specialist still don't know how I can speak let alone relearn to sing. I have no movement in my left vocal cord. They will not operate on me as I am a mystery and they don't want to mess with "the miracle". I still navigate the condition but even my old bandmates/peers/fans think I am "cured". I am not. I am just keeping the show going as I always have done. Working with what I've got. But.... I will tell you this. I have a lot to say/sing/share with the world before my time here is over and I fully intend to give it my best effort with what I have to work with. And I will.
