“Like Air” Single Review from Buzz Music!

Hi everyone!

Los Angeles based music blog Buzz Music was kind enough to review my new single “Like Air” (duet with Ellis Hall)

“This masterpiece is timeless and erupts sudden bursts of nostalgia through our very being as we comprehend the intricately crafted words infiltrating our thoughts. Merging in unison, each artist compliments one another’s talents as the contrast is larger than life in “Like Air.” – Buzz Music

You can check out the full review and an interview I gave, talking about the creative process behind the song, below!

Thank you Buzz Music for the very kind words!

A Dream Come True – Singing With TOTO!

So, I’m so honoured to say, I checked a major item off the bucket list last Sunday – I got to sit in with rock legends TOTO at The Met in Philadelphia, PA!  I am a huge fan of this band, they are some of the best musicians in the world –  Steve Lukather is my hero and the reason I ever picked up a guitar. I got to sing a little of their very first hit – “Hold The Line.”

I can’t even begin to describe what this experience means to me! I have some photos to post soon from TOTO photographer Bob Dinsmore!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart, TOTO!

Review of my new single “Stepping Stone” on Buzz Music L.A!

Hey everyone! My new single ‘Stepping Stone’ has received an amazing review on Los Angeles based music blog – Buzz Music!

“Stepping Stone” is beautiful, melodically inspired by the sounds of modern pop and rock, but instrumentally soaked in a more worldly aura that impresses on multiple levels. “Stepping Stone” reaches out for your affection and holds tight to it right the way through. – Buzz Music L.A.

Read the full review, plus an interview with me about my forthcoming album ‘Rise Like a Phoenix’ here;
