INTERVIEW
Thanks to OAR FM Dunedin – Community Access Media and Dunedin Public Libraries for the interview yesterday. Some great questions from Kay Mercer from the Library to give you an insight into my music and the processes I go through to write, record and perform.

ABOUT THE ALBUM
All songs written as my observation and reflection of the world and people around me each day.
Forgive me as I know there are a few mistakes & glitches but I have deliberately left them there as I believe nothing is perfect and there is beauty in imperfection.
Sweet lullabies is dedicated to all those with hidden illnesses who “look well” but battle everyday.
