Behind the Scenes 

"Something's Gotta Change"

I co-write this song at a songwriting camp in 2023 at Rockfield studios, where Queen recorded Bohemian Rhapsody, and I played on the piano Freddie Mercury used to compose that song! So i thought you might want to see a glimpse of the day we recorded "Something's Gotta Change". 

None of my co-writer has wanted to re-engage with this project so, as i always believed in the power of this song to bring positive change, I have decided to re-record it and produce it myself. Via Musiversal, recordings started in August and will carry on through Nov.

Music

“If I Remember”

This month, as I am still im Sicily, I’m revisiting an acoustic jazz song of mine. I composed it in Sicily around the millennium and originally presented it as part of my University course portfolio in 2002.
The song is about an ex boyfriend I met on holiday in Sicily. After we split up, revisiting those places made me realise that the feelings were still alive, but things had changed.
The artwork is a photo i took of a beach in Marina Di Ragusa, were i spend my Summer holidays. I thought i'd give it a train poster effect. Do you like it?
It’s me playing the piano and singing it, and it would sound so much nicer with Norah Jones voice on it!

Tell me, which artist can you imagine singing this song?

Moments and Reflections

October’s Blog & Podcast: “Permission To Play ” ⛴️

This month, I explore what happens when chasing a dream leaves little room for anything else. 
After decades of pursuing a music career, I reflect on how ambition, time and the constant pressure to keep advancing have made it increasingly difficult to give myself permission to pause, play and simply enjoy the things I love. 
I explore why we sometimes make rest conditional on reaching the next milestone, and what it means to keep working towards the future we dream of without forgetting to live along the way.

Tell me, do you find it easy to give yourself permission to play, or do you feel you have to earn it?
