This music is all about Freedom.
Every word, every note.
I grew up to do someone elses’ work, eat their packaged food, brainwash myself daily in front of their screens.
Every step I take towards a life where work and play are sincere acts of gratitude, I turn it into song.
You’ll hear jazzy piano, funky rhythms, soulful vocals and rock, pop and folk songs. Jeff Buckley and Stevie Wonder get mentioned to me the most – but many others too. I guess there’s some truth in all of them.
Most songwriters worthy of the moniker have lived their songs in order to fashion them into music.
For me it’s completely the reverse.
My songs regularly act like witchy prayers – writing them summons the (usually unwelcome) experiences I need in order to grow and move forward.
When the experience finally leaves me, more often than not, the song is recorded, the spell broken, to trouble me no more.
Every word, every note… When I sing about technology, politics, culture, philosophy, love… I’m rarely sure of what I say. All my answers have exceptions and counter-examples.
The only solid truth I’m going to stand by is that twenty something years into this journey I’m a whole lot happier with the soundtrack.
I hope you enjoy it too!
