"I started out in the UK as more of a singer songwriter in the fields of pop.   Somehow I always felt out of place as if I didn't belong, as if that wasn't really me.  It was when I moved to States that I discovered myself more deeply as an artiste.  I don't know if this was because you become more strongly identified with your mother country the further you get away from it - you know the missing of family, the country itself and nature or how it sits in your memory like some sort of deep recall but, it was from this greater distance that I was able to look at where I had come from, see a much bigger picture - a clearer sense of myself.   

​

Within this sort of cell memory was also a sound that resonated as something deeply authentic.  There was a sense of the Celt in there I'd always loved and known, but there was also something new, a discovery or understanding of how to take this sound and vision with it's ancient qualities and bring it forward into present time - to incorporate its essence in the music.   It didn't happen all at once but this was the seed of inspiration.  By following this thread - listening to the whispers, winnowing and honing through writing, through different projects, experimenting with sound and with my voice that I came to what I felt, was something truly my own."
