Artist Biography
In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. Mum dancing/singing to Britney or something on radio 1. Dad blasting out Nirvana, Supergrass or summat more obscure (Cabaret Voltaire to Mercury Rev). Aged 8/9.. group keyboard lessons at primary school, with solo tuition and practice from there.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular?

Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Cocoon” Cocoon succeeds at capturing a duality of melancholic longing, together with the expansiveness of connection and attachment. Sonically, with the contrast between the fuzzy verses and more major, tender choruses, and lyrically.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Playing at Soul Tribe restival in a wooden hut in rural Wales, a huge blazing fire in the centre, gorgeous lighting, probably the largest audience I've played to mesmerised in silence whilst I played a raw and tender keys set over the fire-crackle.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? My aspirations are relatively humble, mostly relating to successfully executing the things I hear internally. Some recognition would be nice To have touched enough ears play small gigs in cool places.. even if just to a room of 50 people.
