ARTIST BIO
I'm a songwriter and artist based in the UK with a passion for writing uplifting tunes with the hope they’ll connect with people. I'm also a big sports fan, having previously competed on the international tennis circuit, and some of my songs have been inspired through my experiences as a coach.
Last year I released my third EP Stop and Breathe in support of One Tree Planted, with proceeds from streams going towards their impactful reforestation work around the world. My latest singles Singing in Rio and We Belong Here were written with the Paralympic Games in mind - the first of which focusing on a memorable games in Rio, while the second looking ahead to Paris. Previous to these, Break Free reflects on the frustrations of being stuck in a rut, alongside the desire to find a way out and discover pastures new.
When I'm not making music, I coach on the British wheelchair tennis program and fuel myself with coffee!
