Welcome
I fell in love with songwriting as a child for it’s transportive power - from sorrow to joy to another place in time, from limited to limitless and motionless to dancing. After experiencing recording, touring and awards I chose to travel and create at a slower pace and had the privilege of becoming a mother. With all the richness life has bestowed it’s time to create sonically again, share music live again and let the joy & hope that it brings me overflow to you!
I’m currently performing acoustic-folk versions of favourites with my stompbox, vocal harmoniser and loop station. Think Julia Stone and Fiest jamming with Vance Joy.

Merry Christmas Baby
While experiencing my first white Christmas in London there was a glaring absence of my grandmothers laughter, the chatting lorikeets, warm hug from the sun and lingering smell of salt air and a barbecue sizzling.
I reached for Paul Kelly’s ‘How To Make Gravy’ to fill the void but it didn’t scratch the itch. So I wrote my own Aussie Christmas song ‘Merry Christmas Baby’. My hope is it will become a staple on your local radio and Christmas playlist too.
