Songwriting
One of the first songs I wrote in 2003 was picked up by Big Chill records and has been used by TV shows internationally, including an advert with a million+ hits.
With my songwriting partner Daniel James, I co-wrote a parody pop song in 2008 which sold 40,000 copies and hit 25 in the UK singles chart. The song was featured on Newsnight and in 2020 it was taken to Radio 4’s Desert Island Disks.
Daniel and I won funding to deliver youth music workshops in Bromley, discovering Katie Menditta at the age of 12 years old. We wrote songs with Katie and she went on to sing with electronic duo Gorgon City.
Community Songwriting
Working with charities such as Childline, Music in Detention, Music for Change and Hear Me Out, I’ve worked with a wide number of refugees and ex-prisoners in songwriting projects.
Under the name Little Drop, I continue to write songs as special commissions and for the therapeutic and integretive qualities the process brings to my life.
