| A Musical Story of Resilience (1h) | £1000 |
Lately, I’ve restarted a slightly unhinged experiment: writing songs live, with the input of the audience.
It began years ago in a tiny bar in Paris called The Naked Lunch, named after Burroughs’ novel about addiction, madness, and control.
Only now do I see how connected that was to what I’m doing today.
Collecting words from the audience and turning them into a song is a collective act.
People take risks.
They offer a word.
A feeling.
A fragment.
We step into the unknown together.
What emerges is bigger than music.
It’s about naming our shared patterns — the ones we inherit, repeat, and sometimes forget to question — and rewriting them in real time, together.
The experiment is simple: to rewrite the story, together.
A new one.
Where words don’t belong to a few, but to everyone.
We’re entering a moment where more humans want and can take ownership of who they are, and who they choose to become.
To be authors of their life, not just people following a script.
Music helps because it offers safe structures.
It gives enough ground to explore uncertainty, fall, get back up, and keep going.
I believe the more we meet the unknown — through experiences, encounters, creation — the stronger and more connected to each other we become.
Strong enough to turn dreams into reality, without waiting for approval.
We love patterns.
Repetition.
Recognition.
But the unknown?
That’s danger.
Adrenaline.
And strangely enough...
The best glue to bring people together.

2 sockets and an extension, although the speaker can also function without being plugged.
1 parking space where possible.
I can bring my own PA and a light if required.
I need to know any directions that will help me find the venue and find the right place to load in my equipment.
Yes that's absolutely fine, I am happy to play a selection of favourite tracks in between the sets.
I am fully self-contained, so everything is ready to go.
I once performed at New Morning, one of the most iconic jazz venues in Europe. The energy that night was incredible. I still remember the look in the audience’s eyes, it felt like we were all connected. That feeling is one of the main reasons I love making music.
Amy Winehouse and B.B. King are big references for me, I’m drawn to raw voices, groove, and emotion over flash.
If I had to pick one song, Breathe by Pink Floyd says a lot about how I approach music: space, dynamics, and letting a song breathe.
I started very young, recording backing vocals for world music projects in France. I was classically trained as a child, then went on to play in several blues-rock bands, performing in pubs and venues across France and England. I’ve played weddings, hotels, private parties, and both intimate and large venues, and I’m comfortable adapting to different settings and audiences.
I especially love events where the audience is close and engaged, intimate venues, private parties, and weddings where people are really listening as well as celebrating. That’s where the connection happens and the music can breathe, but I’m just as comfortable stepping up for bigger, high-energy events when needed.
I arrive 30 minutes early, play two 45-minute sets, and adapt easily to the audience and event.
Yes I am happy to perform outside.
It is a set repertoire, but if you let me know in advance I can prepare some of your favourites.
People have sometimes shared that the show felt personal or moving to them, and that means a lot to me. Someone said: "You make me feel beautiful inside".
