Well I suppose the journey begins with being born and growing up in Scotland. As we walk life’s paths its funny how we seem to drift back to our roots and I suppose is where my passion began with music especially celtic music.
After Leaving Scotland and settling in Western Australia I first contracted to The Western Australian Opera Company where I performed many roles. From there into broadcasting with The ABC and the Western Australian Symphony Orchestra then onto the Australian Opera Company where I performed both in Australia and toured throughout the world with performers such as Joan Sutherland and Joan Carden, Donald Smith and James Morris, and Maestro Richard Bonynge
After deciding to call it a day with large scale productions ( I think I needed to find myself again, to rediscover who I am as a person) I coached for a bit then started to dabble in a variety of types of musical theatre including Gilbert and Sullivan. I also branched out into alternative styles including Celtic and Jazz.
Whilst this time of my life brought me great happiness and personal satisfaction, it was the great lessons it taught me; the realisation of how precious life is and how important are the people we surround ourselves with on a daily basis. It also taught me how important music is and how it can define our lives and our moods. It can delineate the expressions of our very souls and project that image through its delivery; such is how great music is made.
I have experienced many things in my life and this album is but a snapshot into the world I have seen and the world we can all be a part of if only we would open our hearts and let it in.
