I am a singer/songwriter currently planning a tour around Europe to promote my first EP of original songs. I really want to busk, play open mic nights, write with fellow musicians and connect with as many people as I can.
I'm still working on the route but the places I am planning to travel to so far are Dublin, Glasgow, Bruges, Ghent, Aachen, Bonn, Cologne, Berlin, Amsterdam and Copenhagen.

Since finishing university over two years ago, I have spent a long time working on my music and figuring out what I want to do with my life. It's been a difficult and challenging journey but very recently I finally decided to do what I think will make me feel most alive right now and that is to travel and play music.

I like to do Creative writing as well as songwriting; I try my hand at short stories whenever the mood strikes (many unfinished short stories).
Novels and films are big passions of mine. As a songwriter and aspiring author I love and value stories, real life stories and fiction, anything that gets me thinking about questions in life.
I also really enjoy deep conversations about life, time, memory, the future, nature, philosophy (Anything existential).
I have also been very interested in meditation recently after reading 'The Miracle Morning' by Hal Elrod and have found this to be such an important discovery. I don't know a whole lot about mediation as it's still quite a new interest, though I am finding Eckhart Tolle's stillness mediation and his thoughts on embracing the present moment to be the most helpful to me.

My main aim right now is to learn as much as I can while on my travels, find as much inspiration for new stories to write about and ultimately help people through my music and writing.
