About

Singer songwriter from Belfast, Northern Ireland. Moved to New Zealand in 2013 for a year but couldn’t find work so took up busking when only knowing 3-4 songs. Within my first hour (and playing the same 4 songs over and over) i’d made over $100 so I decided to continue this which then lead to being offered numerous gigs throughout the town in bars and clubs. I headlined the annual Queenstown Winter Festival where professional skiers and snowboarders received their trophies. Now living back in Belfast this last year I’ve continued my music career, gigging 5 nights a week, released a 4 track EP on iTunes and Spotify and planning a UK/Europe tour throughout 2015. Influences include , Hozier, Ed Sheeran, John Mayer.
