Hi Everyone! I hope you’re having a lovely day. The weather here in Sydney is crisp and clear. Such a beautiful winter. There’s something I want to share with you because it’s something I’m very excited about. That may be an understatement. You know the feeling when you’re on the cusp of finally beginning to live a lifelong […]
The Machiniso EP “In Lounge-O-Scope” has just been reviewed by respected Sydney DJ Georgina Reed. Her description of my voice is very flattering and I can’t thank her enough for giving Machiniso such a great review.

Words can not describe how much I enjoyed my little getaway to the Snowy Mountains this month. It’s my first proper holiday in almost two decades and I’ve finally lived a lifelong dream to get to the Snowy Mountains in New South Wales, Australia. I can’t believe it’s taken me so long. Hope you enjoy […]

Machiniso returned to the Botany View Hotel for our second three hour setter on Saturday 4th January 2014. Every time I get to sing is an exciting event for me, so as usual I’d been looking forward to it all week. We had some new songs to debut too, which made it doubly thrilling. We […]

I spent most of Thursday in a small studio with the boys of Machiniso. We’re busy writing new material. It’s been a long time coming! So far we have four newish songs that are really starting to take shape. One of them is an old song of mine called Mundane Blues. I’ve never released it, […]
As I alluded to in my last blog post, here is the third one of the evening. I had a rehearsal today with Scott Leishman. He and I have a predominantly jazz duo, but sometimes we branch out into other music..a bit of soul and pop every so often. Anyway, we went through a handful […]
