CURRENT MISSION

Travelling North, Central and South America

ABOUT ME

I am a musician that lives between Lisbon and Brighton. I tour and travel regularly visiting and playing music all over Europe, USA, Northern and Western Africa, Middle East, India and Sri Lanka. Travelling is the best thing there is and I hope many of you visit Lisboa because, even after seeing many amazing places, this city still dazzles me with its beauty and energy. When it comes to where I am from well that's a little existential crisis every time someone asks me - half English, quarter Lebanese, quarter Spanish and brought up in Portugal.

PHILOSOPHY

A good day is a good day. A bad day is a good story.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Played a show to 6.000 people, broke a string on the guitar and proceeded to rip all the other strings off the guitar to turn it all into a smooth move. I don't think it worked though.

Sang 'Fisherman's Blues' by The Waterboys with my husky dog, Anouke.
