| My new CD "Beneath The Rose" has been released this month (December 2007). I have grown in wonderful ways and am continuing to express my journey through life through my voice and songs. I hope you enjoy the music I have made, and look forward to sharing my new songs very soon. We have two new cd's of beautiful devotional songs ready to be recorded in 2008 / 2009. So stay tuned for more prayer filled sacred music!
Brought up in England, I learned classical music at an early age. I played violin and piano in orchestras throughout my childhood and teen years. I loved to dance, and was fortunate to have been sponsored by Margot Fontaine (world-famous prima-ballerina) at the age of 10, and was accepted as a student into the famous City of Hamburgs Opera & Ballet School (Staats Opera) in Germany. I studied dance there for the Royal Ballet, a wonderful priceless gift.
I spent most of my life working as an assistant / promoter / manager to many famous rock stars. I worked with Bon Jovi, Fleetwood Mac, Aerosmith, The Osbournes, along with a whole host of other world famous musicians. This deepened my hearts desire to express myself through my own music. I was personally moved by the music of The Doors, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, and Queen, and started writing lyrics at a very early age. I started developing my own unique style & sound and decided to record with Mateus Kotok, a very gifted producer / friend in Maui..
I am seeker of Truth, a follower of my heart. Being half Indian (from Kashmir, India) I have a big love of Indian philosophy, and am especially devoted to the Goddess Sri Radha. I feel my music reflects my deepest devotional sentiments. I have a love of ancient English tales which seem to naturally inspire my voice to have a subtle Celtic feel, blending the East / West romantics beautifully.
Whilst I was living in India during 1995 and 1996, I was fortunate enough to go to Vrindavan and Mathura (Holy villages where Radha and Krishna's pastimes go on). There it was that I met my beloved spiritual guide (Gurudeva) and took initiation from him. On my second day staying in his temple, he told me that I "should write and perform English songs." I was quite surprised because at that point I had no plan to sing for anyone! It was by his inspiration alone that my songs have been written and sung with any devotion at all. Without the love I feel in my heart for this great personality I would not be able to sing one note with emotion. I give thanks for this great blessing in my life. (For more information on my beloved Gurudeva, please look at the links on my Favorite Links page).
My debut album is entitled Age of Forgiveness, it was written and recorded in Maui, Hawaii with Mateus. My songs are timeless and honest. I hope to touch your heart with my soothing lyrics and relaxed harmonic vocals. Music critics have compared my voice and writing style to Sarah McLaughlin, Enya and John Lennon!
I have since recorded a second CD entitled JAYA. It is an acoustic devotional CD with simple yet haunting harmonic vocals. JAYA is also now available. I feel it is a powerful rendition of both English and Sanskrit prayers to the Divine. Beautifully simple, it expresses my devotion at its best.
My next CD has been written, I have grown in wonderful ways and am continuing to express my journey through life through my voice and songs. I hope you enjoy the music I have made, and look forward to sharing my new songs very soon!
