Biography
The place i come from when i make music is ultimately one of gratitude. Every day i give thanks for the opportunity i have to make music and to share that music with others. I realise that i am part of a wealthy minority, and that most people on this planet can only dream of the opportunities that are available to me. With this comes a certain responsibility, and so i need to sing about what is going on in the world, and how we can respond to this on a personal, community and global level. I seek to activate the heart, mind and spirit.
