Music Producer, Singer, Composer & Lyricist
“To my mind, music is pure but not purist. From childhood I was introduced to the music of the world. For me, keeping cultural traditions alive is not achieved by sealing them in glass jars to be observed and venerated. Music is for sharing and adapting, by everyone, both its concepts and its outcomes.”
