Welcome to my creative space! Alongside making music, I love designing my own album covers. Here, you’ll find a collection of my artwork, each paired with the story behind the song. Enjoy exploring the visual side of my musical journey!
I I am a synthwave artist but wanted to challenge myself by just creating a simple song with just two instruments - no synths allowed and this is the result. A piano with some strings. This song came about my last trip to Scotland. How beautiful the landscape is during autumn. How much I enjoy this season as the piano keys say it all.
My song ‘Back To My Roots’ was inspired by a cherished memory of my family reminding me to stay connected to my heritage and remember them. When I moved from Scotland to The Netherlands, I was given a bear dressed in traditional Scottish attire, complete with a kilt and sporran. This song is filled with deep emotion and sentiment.
I wrote a song called ‘Beautiful.’ Each letter of the word ‘beautiful’ has a very important meaning, which I reveal towards the end of the song. This song is dedicated to all the beautiful people I have met throughout my life.
My song ‘Better Tomorrow’ reflects on those tough days when things don’t go as planned. It’s about finding hope and reassuring myself and others that tomorrow holds the promise of a brighter day.
The story behind "Celtic Echoes" is when I moved to the Netherlands, it was a culture shock. I went from living among beautiful hills and mountains to a city with no greenery and completely flat terrain. This song captures the essence of that transition and the longing for the landscapes I left behind.
The inspiration for my song ‘Celtic Horses’ stems from a cherished childhood memory. I recall gazing out of the car window during weekend visits to my great-grandparents in Scotland, mesmerized by the sight of Clydesdale horses galloping freely across vast fields. Now, as an adult, it’s rare to see these majestic horses.
