♫ I sing because I am happy, I sing because I am free.

★ I am Scottish, living in Scotland.  And I sing for my supper.  I have used music as my form of expression since I was 13 and for me it is essential for communication, whether it is blues, rock, pop, soul, R&B, gospel, reggae and folk music I am working with.  I am primarily a live performer but am game for any musical venture.

In the words of Neil Diamond: "Making music is my life, the one constant I can't live without. It's more than a desire or yearning; it's a necessity."

I mostly work with Richard Dunn (amazing singer-songwriter, guitarist and producer!) as an acoustic duo and we perform anything from indie pop to folk music. In July 2012 this culminated in my debut live album The Gathering.

In 2009 I joined Edinburgh-based blues band Doc Rodent as their lead singer.

In 2011 I rediscovered my folk roots and have been performing at Prestonfield House, Edinburgh up to six nights a week during the season.
