My new EP is out today, it’s called Be Brave and features four new tracks. You can listen on Spotify, Bandcamp or any of the main digital platforms. It was produced by Marcus Hamblett and features contributions from Lewis Renshaw (electronics), Andrew Stuart Buttle (violin), Jonny Wildey (AKA Alphabets Heaven, electronics) and Tom Heather (drums). Photography by Sequoia Ziff.
I hope you like it! More news coming soon, I’ve already got the next release ready to go!
An amazing video blog called Onder Invloed / The Influences asked to film me playing a couple of covers of songs that influenced me. I chose a song by Emiliana Torrini and one by Björk – two amazing and inspirational Icelandic women! 🇮🇸
They were filmed at the wonderful Brewpub De Kromme Haring in Utrecht. You can watch them in full now, as well as a new live version of my own song Space, here:
Had a chat with the lads at Contemporary Classical last week about 2018.

Alphabets Heaven has just released a new beat tape inspired by Italo Calvino’s novel Invisible Cities. On his website you can also dub the tracks yourself (play with filters and delay) for extra fun whilst listening. I recorded some vocals for him on one of the tracks called Heart. Have a play! Follow the link above.
You can also stream it and buy it from his bandcamp:
I answered some questions for M Magazine for PRS for Music about my life as a musician and my new record. Have a read if you like.

Woohoo! Check out the new video by Rachael Dadd! Well done all involved. It’s a stonker! For those in Bristol on Sunday – come watch Rachael at the Fleece as part of the BBC 6 Music Festival, Bristol. I’ll be playing in her band.
