“Never Know”
This song was written with a friend in mind, someone afraid of getting close emotionally with people. This is something many of us can relate to. The track shows a jazzier side to the songwriting, a jazzy side I enjoy and will continue developing.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far?
Performing at Kongsberg Jazz Festival. Album well received in the press.
Collaborating with multi-instrumentalist and studio engineer Vanguard on my album.
His merits include co-writing hit track "Jus' a rascal" for Brit Award winner Dizzee Rascal.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band?
I will be writing and recording a new jazz/soul album in 2026/27, for release in 2027.
