I spoke to @narc_magazine about my latest release, inspirations and thoughts towards the future 🍃
NARC do an amazing job representing the north east, especially in this tumultuous time, so I'm super stoked to be featured once again

Big ups to @BBCIntroNE and @nickyrob for giving 'The Cottage' it's first radio spin earlier this week!
The response has honestly been overwhelming so so far & I'm truly grateful to hear how much everyone is enjoying it 🍂
Huge thankyou to @BDR_Andy for supporting 'The Cottage' over on Black dog radio!
Woke up to the news that “The Cottage” has been added to Spotifys biggest editorial classical music playlist, which is mental.
This is the second time we’ve featured so it’s pretty humbling to see my work up there again. Huge well done to everyone involved x

"The Cottage" is a musical exploration of our 𝑺𝒂𝒇𝒆 𝑺𝒑𝒂𝒄𝒆: Our own relative haven, exempt of all negativity, harassment and any other emotional or physical harm. A place we feel separated from the world and our discrepancies with it.

It gives me great honour to announce that my next single "The Cottage" will be released on 26th November 🍂
Ecstatic to be working alongside so many talented musicians on this one, along with @sel_maclean and @yakamoz_film & @SingingLightUK
Happy to share a stripped down version of my first single release "Ode to John" that I performed for local podcast series 'Canny Creatives'
It had been so long since I got my hands on an acoustic piano due to lockdown - I was so grateful ❤️
