How do you wake up in the morning? What’s the first thing you do? How do you handle days that start badly? How do you deal with ‘difficult’ people who trigger you? Breathe my people. Breathe and observe. Your own thoughts, emotions and those on display around you… My Saturday mornings, when I was married […]

My friend Noel and I were driving in CT when I heard this song. It was one of those perfect days. The sun was just about to set, the air crisp enough and I felt so overwhelmed and happy to be around people I care for on such a perfect day. Here’s the song!  

Sometimes I have an urge to call up a few people and say, ‘Listen here you little asshole….just what the sweet general f**k is wrong with you eh?’ I am sure everyone has this urge from time to time. I don’t act on it because….well….my father was the biggest asshole around. And I wanted to […]

This is why people come into our lives. To remind or wake us up. In my case, having Tumi around is a small reminder that most things worth experiencing can only be done with others. This is how we co-create after all. We talk, eat, laugh, cook, drive around and then make music. I really […]

Considering everything that has happened, it is nothing short of a miracle being able to record two albums at home. Without having a mic stand, a bass or keyboard! Tumi will fix and master the tracks once he is home. Later this month we scatter Daddy’s ashes ahead of a performance and my birthday. This […]

This speaks of the plight of indigenous people. And how everything about who we are is stolen, repackaged and sold. While we are told by every media house who we should be,what we should look and sound like. Movies and series all contain clues. Watch out for them…

I made a few decisions during lockdown. Wait, I made so many! However, this is the most important one. My happiness and peace of mind will never be dependent on anyone. I can see my daughter rolling her eyes and calling me non committal and afraid of love, blah blah blah. None of which is […]

Okay, so Tumi created an entire new playlist for my car. It was a eight hour trip. With an hour break in between. But the music he selected kicked all kinda of ass! So much so that I was not tired at all. We were dancing and singing and laughing all the way there and […]

It’s a odd feeling. Waking up, cooking, listening to music and recording all kinds of mad songs….while life around me carries on. Daddy’s still dead, so many family issues need to be dealt with and it feels like I am slap bang in the centre of it. Always listening and watching. I need a damn […]

This year has been surprising. So many things got turned upside down. Yet, here we still are. Making do with who we are… I always thought, ‘The next album I record will be overseas…’ Yet. Life happened. And here I am recording two albums with a good friend. Amidst making food, family and doing what […]
