CURRENT MISSION

Explore, celebrate, meet, dream, discover, share, live with my whole being!

ABOUT ME

I am a music lover, a hopeless romantic with a love of nature, people, animals, children, poetry, travel and exploration. I make music and musical instruments and try to inspire those where I live to believe in themselves and live their dreams. I have two beautiful sons. I have thrown myself into the void, packed up my house and am at last living my dream of travelling! First stop is to Spain to experience Flamenco!

PHILOSOPHY

Life is too short to waste time trying to be what you think other people want from you...Believe in yourself and live YOUR story.

Music, Movies, and Books

Where to Start!!! Reading Hesse - Steppenwolf at the moment. I Love movies and reading. Music is an everyday necessity!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Worked with 16 township schools in the Western Cape, South Africa, where we made 200 drums from recycled materials, a set of orchestral Marimba's, several large bass drums and performed with 500 learners to around 2000 visitors at the V&A waterfront. I felt so priviledged to be given the opportunity to make a difference in those children's lives!
