Original New Zealand Songwriter
Songs From the Edge of the World
Memorable melodies inspired by the rugged beauty of the South Island of Aotearoa, New Zealand.
Original Compositions
Sugar in My Coffee
A classic pop song with beautifully crafted lyrics, soft intimate vocals, sweet harmonies and a truly unforgettable melody.
No Town Man
Driving blues with a touch of jazz. A story of a free spirit (or a lost soul ) that refuses to be tamed. Blistering guitar and driving bass.
Go Higher
An anthem of hope, expressing perseverance and self-belief but without forgetting to lift up those who need help up along life's rocky road . A redemptive and uplifting ballad.
If I'm Gone in the Morning
A classic tale of a struggling musician chasing the dream and reflecting on how fickle life can be.
My Journey
Long story short: I was walking through a street market in Muswell Hill (London) when a tune jumped into my head.
When I got home, I grabbed my guitar and started to work on the persistent melody. Three weeks later, I was in Simon Townshend's studio (The Who) playing my new song (Sweet Resolve).
James Hayto (Massive Attack, George Michael, Tina Turner) was on guitar and bass.
Mark Brzezicki (Big Country, Procol Haren, Ultravox) was on drums. We recorded 3 songs.
Fast forward 25 years, and I'm based in Christchurch, New Zealand. I recently recorded another three songs with legendary local, Arnie van Bussel in his studio. You can listen to them on this website.
All compositions and recordings are 100% mine.
