Starting out, I had no idea what the idea of launching my life into the music world might look like. I started later than many...life just got in the way for a host of reasons. "I had been writing songs for a few years, not because I chose to but because they just started to emerge following a traumatic personal experience. Having held back the urge to write songs for 20 years, once I gave voice to my first song...they simply erupted.
Several years down the road, I realise all the hopes and dreams of my earlier life were truly immersed in the writing of songs and bringing musical expression to life.
There is no easy way to do it..! You just have to dive in and be resilient all the while you are being creative. Writing is the easiest part of the journey.
For me there is no inner happiness without the release and the surge of energy that songwriting brings....and no contentment until I have achieved my goal.
Most singer/songwriters start out performing small venues, involved in small bands and the organic growth of the artist is incremental ,building a fan base along the way.
It didn't happen this way for me. I reached a point where songs were piling up, songs that meant so much to me, like a collection of poems. I realised I had to take the leap, get out there, start singing and bringing their meaning to life with my voice and ability to connect, a gift I have always had throughout my life.
