Singer, songwriter, guitarist. Just passing through. When I was 15 a bunch of guys from school wanted to start a band. I lied. And I haven't looked back since.

They asked me if I could play guitar and I said I could. Looking back on it now, that's the best damn lie I've ever told because I bought my first guitar that week and gave myself a you-can't-look-like-a-dumbass-now crash course. It's been a long time since 15 and at the moment I'm based in Colombo, playing the pub circuit for a living and in the process of writing and recording my debut EP to stay alive. I've always dreamed of seeing the world, and music is my way of trying to get the hell out of dodge. So maybe you'll hear me in a bar, hall or radio set somewhere near you soon?

Not my first rodeo,
Might be my last.

I don’t know much—well, to be honest, I don’t know much at all. But I’ve always loved sharing the little I do know. So far, this has been limited to sharing thoughts and ideas with friends, or teaching my neighbor’s kid to play the guitar.

Yesterday’s “Barstool Jam Session” hosted by was a nice reminder of this, so I thought I’d jot down some of the insights and ideas that we explored during the session. I hope it adds some value to your creative pursuits, and I’d love to hear your thoughts if you have any.

A few years of songwriting in this little notebook. There’s just something about a pen & paper, and writing with your own hands when it comes to creative work.

Some of my lyrical work you probably (most definitely) haven’t seen.

More studio days.

This is my first time producing a song for another artist, and I’ve got to say I’ve enjoyed it very much. Although I have to say, it’s not a very hard job when you have such amazing musicians to work with. Always grateful to be a part of this creative channeling process.
