I’m most interested in two things about music. Firstly, how thoughts can be caught in a tune; and secondly how songs can connect people. Both are independent of style and sound. My own style until now has been acoustic singer-songwriter. But in 2015 I met Rene Dufry and he showed me some of his electro-pop music. I couldn’t help imagining; how might the songs work with a completely new sound? Rene’s style and musical experience was so different to mine I figured it could be perfect for a collaboration!

Since then we’ve been stealing time to work on a first track called ‘Town of inbetweens’. I’d love to give you an idea of the sound so far. Use the grey keys (or keyboard keys 1-6) to create your own mix. We’ll be completing the single soon so be sure to sign up and you can be one of the first to hear it!

There always seems to be another sunrise,
shadows being broken by the light.
All fires burn to coals inside,
all the while a body dies.

A little bit of this, a little bit of that,
a little time to think.
Give a friend a kiss, stopping in the street,
counting smiles.

We’re travelling in the in between
with our hearts on our sleeves,
and our lives on our knees.
Is everyone here prepared to leave,
the town of in betweens.

Where no one seems to stay more than a day,
no one seems to care enough.
Where walking’s just the thing to get you by,
in the town of in betweens.

A little bit of this, a little bit of that,
a little time to think.
Give a friend a kiss, stopping in the street,
counting smiles.

We’re travelling in the in between
with our hearts on our sleeves,
and our lives on our knees.
Is everyone here prepared to leave,
the town of in betweens.
