Basically I fell in love with Maria Von Trapp when I was 5 years old and decided I wanted to become a nun. About 10 years later it dawned on me that I liked the singing part more than the habits and I started writing songs.
Now when life is good I play shows with likes of Sondre Lerche, Eleni Mandell, Anais Mitchell, Teitur, Ed Harcourt, Jennifer Kimball, Tobias Froberg, The New Standards, The Weepies, Catherine Feeny, Chris Pureka, Chiara Civello and occasionally, when he's free, with God (except he insists on the whole habit thing which I feel can be distracting from the music - don't you agree?).
Recently, something very lovely happened. I met a band here in Rome where I live called L'Orchestra di Piazza Vittorio and they asked me to join them for their realization of Mozart's "The Magic Flute". It's pretty radical and I'm honoured to be involved. We made our debut in June 2009 in Lyon, France and will be spreading the love through Europe and hopefully elsewhere in 2010 - stay tuned and find us - this show is not to be missed - and I can say that without being arrogant because I'm a cog in a big and beautiful wheel here folks.
In the meantime I'm writing album number 3 which involves various co-writes from Nashville to Rio De Janeiro which I'll be recording at an undisclosed location (read: not sure where yet) with you-know-who as my producer and consort in March 2010. Whew - big sentence. I much prefer writing songs to writing bios.
