So saddened to hear about the passing of Dame Vera Lynn, a British icon. In her memory, here’s a short improvisation on the timeless classic which will forever be associated with her. Rest in Peace.
#RIPDameVera
Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there, and a special thought to all those who are missing their fathers today. Such a gift to be a dad, and my proudest achievement 💜

I always gravitate towards nature when I’m feeling overwhelmed or burdened by unhelpful thoughts. It’s just a way of stepping back and grounding myself in the moment in order to reset. Let’s all look after ourselves, and look out for each other💙

The day is finally here - 'Classical Soul Vol. 1' is out now:
This album reflects my musical journey, inspired by soul legends like Roberta Flack and Stevie Wonder, blending their influence with my own piano compositions. I hope it resonates with you.
Found myself in a lovely space pre adjudication I gave at a school recently. I often improvise sonatas or symphonic forms when in new spaces, attracted and informed by the particular energy in the room and the people around me. Not sure what to call this one. Any ideas?
Improvised introduction for St Andrews - the first single from my EP, Peace. Love the sound of this old, upright Steinway piano. It has so many stories to tell and possesses so much character. I could happily stay here all day 🎶🎶
Flowers by
@MileyCyrus
seemed appropriate for
#ValentinesDay
. So many layers to this track, and I love improvising around it. However you’re spending your day, I’m sending good vibes and
#Flowers
your way! 💜
One Look, to me, is a song that ‘lies beneath’ - and speaks to a quietly, self-affirming peace that subtracts all that is superfluous and retains all that is real in the moment.
So grateful to you for listening and supporting my work, and for allowing my music to be a part of your journey. It’s such a joy and a gift to share musical stories with you and to play a part in your lives. And, of course, a big thank you to
@Spotify
