Perth, Jakarta and Cancun: Part 2

Tuesday, March 20th, 2012 by

Jakarta We packed up and flew to Jakarta via Bali on a rainy morning after the show in Western Australia.  I never can stay awake on an airplane (dry air combined with engine hum, I suppose is the reason), so I slept nearly the entire flight.  Despite the fact...→ Read More

Perth, Jakarta and Cancun: Part 1

Tuesday, March 20th, 2012 by

I’ve been around the globe again with Steveland over the past couple of weeks.  As usual with one-off concerts, there wasn’t much time for sight-seeing or relaxing, but I took full opportunity to see what I could.

An upbeat song!

Wednesday, January 11th, 2012 by

Admittedly, I tend to write songs that are soft, mid tempo, pretty and “nice”, but I wanted to write a song for myself that’s energetic yet true to who I am.  So, my long time collaborator Brad (check out R00K) came to my studio and we created an upbeat...→ Read More
