about

This is my third album as a singer songwriter. I feel I took more care over its production and design than my previous albums 'Our Story' (2007) and 'New Emotions' (2010) [available from iTunes etc.] I was very fortunate to find Marcus Cormack at Tyro Studios, London who mixed and co-produced as well as contributing drums and percussion. Other guests include John Eacott on trumpet, Pete Johnston on string arrangement, Silvia Battista on accordion and vocals and Bada Song on vocals. It took a whole year to make and I'm really thrilled with the outcome -Hope you will enjoy!
