I am creative, spontaneous, and passionate.

I remember singing songs like the folk song "This Land is your land" as young as 5 years old. I always felt a strong sense of beauty from singing. My mom put my sister and I in a song and dance troupe when we were about 5 or six and we would perform at places for the disabled or elderly. At 10 years old I had my first solo in the church choir.

I listened to a little purple transistor radio as a child and would wait for my favourite songs to come on. I loved the songs of the seventies like "One Tin Soldier", "Where Have All The Flowers Gone?" and "If I Had A Hammer". They were folk songs with a message. As a teenager I would borrow my older brother's records like Supertramps "Breakfast in America".

Horses have a mythical connection with human beings. They represent spirit, beauty, freedom and power. I also get this amazing feeling of being connected to the whole universe around them.

I tend to write from my emotions. Often when something happens in my life I write about it to understand it. I also find access to some wiser part of myself.

I hadn't ever seen an episode of Dawson's Creek until I had a song in it. It was a show for younger people but I liked watching the character of Joey. I have some music in movies that aren't all that good and missed the mark in some way but I appreciate the small moment where I get to see the magic of one of my songs express the emotions of someone else's scene.

It's because I write about love relationships alot and those are the moments most TV shows are trying to enhance with music. I also think I make music that has a cinematic feel. I've worked with two different producers who are also film composers so the style tends to be more film friendly.

I was trying to get over a relationship with someone. I was also perhaps drawing on the early confusion and pain of losing my father when I was six years old. I have a bit of a fascination with loss in my writing and I think music has helped me understand it more.

Yes, I am going in the studio this week to start recording again. I have about 6 new songs that are really strong that I am excited about recording.

Thank you to all of you who have been enjoying my music. Please feel free to email me at [email protected] if you have your own questions or comments on the music. I love hearing from people around the world and, who knows, it may help your English learning experience.
