DEVELOPING CREATIVE PRACTICE

In 2016, my musical journey took flight amidst the vibrant sounds of the Heathrow greenhouses, and the gentle sway of boats powered by the sun. A unique beginning playing music for protests and eco-villages whilst living in an occupation to save a village from being bulldozed to build the 3rd runway, sparked a passion for overland travel across Europe where I intertwined my love for music with community and eco-social change initiatives. 

These adventures led me to hitch hike a boat across the atlantic ocan to the wise landscapes of Brazil, where I learned from indigenous cultures and collaborated with talented producers, starting to release my music and playing more regularly live in conscious venues, communities and lands across the UK, Europe and South America.

 Back in the UK, I celebrated the airing of an early single on the renowned Giles Peterson show which later formed my first EP, GAFA, and amongst some more singles and a  first album BABY LONDON.

Alongside this, performing solo and as a collective in gigs and festivals across the UK including Shambala Festival, Soul Revolution, Budhhafield festival, Big Green Gathering, performing with the National Theatre of Wales, the Woodland Trust and many more.

 Driven by a desire to bridge the realms of art and activism, I founded Music4unity, a community music group that hosts workshops, gigs, and camps; fostering unity and creativity through the power of music. Alongside big collective singing in workshops or at festivals, we have also developed various community theatre pieces that are seeding towrds a bigger production of a musical; Heathrow the Musical!

My journey has been a tapestry of experiences woven together by community rhythms, fireside connections, and a shared vision and belief for a better world.
