ABOUT

Hey!! I’m a singer/songwriter looking to create music with some cool & likeminded people, with the end goal of hopefully forming a band/recording songs and playing some live gigs, etc. Whilst I’ve never technically performed at any paid, professional gigs, I’ve been performing at open mic nights (more often than not to backing tracks, very unfortunately, but very occasionally with guitar/whole band accompaniment) for many years now

I can (technically) play guitar myself, but not nearly well enough to perform on stage, just barely well enough so that I can write/compose songs & chord progressions. I’ve always found that I’m the most inspired musically when working with other people (the right people, of course) though, so I’d love to find someone/a couple of people with similar musical taste, interests & goals to create something amazing with

I have so, so many unfinished songs, lyrics, chord progressions, song/storyline/album concepts, etc just lying around that I can’t quite seem to put together or finish completely myself, and I’m also very open to/interested in working with/performing other people’s original content, so if you can relate to any of this (or if any of it even makes any sense in the first place), please feel free to reach out either on here or via Instagram/email!
