About Still

Some things need to be said out loud...better with an acoustic guitar in hand and microphone planted between my feet.

Ive been singing for many years professionally, started out as a drummer singer actually. A manager spotted me one night while I was filling in for a friend. Opportunities emerged after I received vocal training,... pantomimes, restaurant and club gigs. I have supported touring overseas artists all the while writing my own songs. Finally I have the opportunity to put out my songs directly having been signed to a previous publisher and record company.

Writing songs is like breathing for me. Its is a process of expressing the fire in the belly about life issues that are basic - freedom, autonomy, sovereignty all the things that make humans what they are fallen but still made in the image of God.

My songs... I hope they will have find a place in your life to help with the making sense of things. Together we may find a better place, a still place from which to respond to storms raging in, through and around our lives.

Influences: - Neil Young, Paul Simon and Cold Play... Dylan and Springsteen's authenticity, the harmonies of the Beach Boys, Crosby Stills Nash and Young; the Melody of Motown and Neil Finn...the craft of Queen and the Beatles; the poetry of Joni Mitchell Dylan and the rhythm and soul of the Dooby Bros, Santana, Stevie Wonder, BB King.

Im a mix of all that. It really it depends what needs to be said. But always, I hope to be authentic and true to the meaning of the song that unfolds. I believe truth has a way of making us whole, Im always wanting to walk towards it as I live and when I write and perform.

Let me know what you think...but give me the benefit of savouring more than one song. Love to hear from you! (send me an email in the contact section)
