Singer/songwriter from Leeds, England I'm a singer songwriter, born and bred in Yorkshire. I started writing songs from the age of 13, having played the piano from age 10 and then picking up the guitar at 16. However, it wasn't until I was 26 that I dared go to a local acoustic night and play a few covers in public. I admit at first gigging terrified me, but the love of playing music soon overtakes that fear. Now I try and do as many live gigs as possible, nothing beats playing.
