I’m a community musician, arts for wellbeing practitioner, and songwriter.

I facilitate collaborative and performance-based music sessions in healthcare and community settings. I also have a long research career in arts and health that underpins my approach to artistic practice.

I deliver regular music sessions for NHS Lothian, St Columba’s Hospice Care (Edinburgh), and in care home and community contexts. For 2027, I will be delivering a collaborative songwriting course for adults focusing on songwriting for wellbeing (in person in Edinburgh).

In my original music, nature and the environment, politics, health, transformation, and relationships are key themes. I am strongly influenced by traditional, folk, alt-folk, Americana, and country music. In 2025, I performed my original music at the Bluebird Café in Nashville.
