Bridging Distance through Music: Virtual Collaboration Finally Hits the Stage
As a music lover, singer, and songwriter, my journey over the past few years has been a testament to the power of virtual collaboration. In a world where distance and lockdowns became the norm, I went from performing and working on music with others on a regular basis, to suddenly having to adjust to making music in isolation. The fact that my musical connection with Will Harrison not only survived but thrived remotely was incredibly important to me, and resulted in a remarkable journey from virtual partnership, to live gig; releasing songs such as ‘Send in the Fireflies’, ‘Stone and the Chalk’ and ‘A Chance to Miss You’ along the…

New beginnings
Wow! So excited to get my new website out there. Take a look around, I hope you like it. What a strange year, but the power of music has helped to lift our spirits. It’s been a joy to sing to care home residents with the charity ‘Kissing it Better’, performing ‘outside the window’ and seeing the smiles on the faces as they join in with the songs of yesteryear. …and 2020 brought my first electronic dance music success, with Italian producer Danny Darko. Our collaboration ’50 Shades of Blue’, where I wrote the melody and lyrics to Danny’s dance track went really well. Can’t tell you how chuffed I…
