Art cannot be created without inspiration. When life calls, artists heel because they understand experiencing all facets of life powers their artistic development. Travelling the rollercoaster of life consumes time, and once the challenges are over, the artist returns with a fiery passion and countless new stories to tell. Their sounds and lyrics have evolved - the core essence of who they are wisely woven in their music, like liquid dancing on the tip of their tongue, serena

If you’re waiting for someone else to give you permission to create, you’re already asking the wrong person. Stop worrying about what people think. Make the music you want to hear. Make it because it excites you. Make it because it’s fun. Make it for yourself first. Everything else is just a bonus and if you genuinely love the process, everything else like success and recognition will fall into place naturally. Not because you forced it. Never let people whose brains are stil

am I worthy of being heard? does my voice carry any weight? does my age dictate how you respond? how does it feel to become invisible? why can’t I have the same opportunities? should I mute myself for your comfort? if it’s all the same to you, I’m going to keep living each day God blesses me with, strive to satisfy my dreams, and create moments in time I can reflect on in the future. I hope you do the same.

Real authentic people will never compromise who they are for what they want.

Generative AI’s greatest achievement has not been creating content, but lowering our expectations in what we accept from what we read, what we listen to, the art we consume and what we expect from ourselves when we write. In doing so, it dehumanises us; reducing people from creators and interpreters to mere generators of text, recreated sounds and stolen imagery. When automation takes over, the world loses a little more of the humanity that gives communication its value. Stop

if you are falling, or if you are flying, you are free. enjoy the ride.

heat from the hearth with embers crackling delays the approach of this cold winters night. savoring whiskey on rocks with a splash of dry how blessed we all are to experience life.

With the announcement that Meta (Facebook/Instagram/Threads/Whatsapp) is making changes to its messaging services, I am making changes as well. From April 16, Meta is rolling Messenger back into the Facebook platform. As part of their Terms of Service, all direct messages will be used in training their AI - all of your personal details, relationship info and financial details you have shared with others will now belong to them. From May 8, Instagram/Threads will remove en

Thank you God for this precious gift of life. Thank you for each and every day that you give us on this earth, for that I am so very grateful always. While today is memorable for me in many ways, friends are experiencing today much differently, and I send them much love and strength because life is so very precious. Today is also my Grandmother Yana’s birthday. Today three years ago, I released ‘You and Me’. Today ten years ago, I spent my 40th in SYD solo. Today eight years

Hey there little man. I know alot of time has passed. I think about you all the time and how youve managed to last. I remember when the light in your eyes disappeared and the hope in your soul faded, Moving your way through life dealing trauma had left you jaded. Thank you for being oh so strong and dealing with these issues. Today is a much better place where theres no need to look for tissues. To finally wake up and take control to carve out life your own way. How you rejec

It would be boring to be the same person with some, this is how things, they be You never adjusted, observing from others, standing still with a smirk or is it glee? You’ve escaped a close call with the Grim Reaper for now, yet no one escapes in the end. Viewing the world as your oyster, Enjoy! (But not o’ your shoulder) You’re leaving a bloodied trail behind. This glamor, this glitz! Look again, or youll miss, that time when authenticity did shine. But thats dead, long forgo

I think everyone just finally gets to a point in their lives where they are like ‘really? Is that it?’ Time is zooming by so fast and those childhood dreams still dance in my head, taunting for me to achieve them. Sure, I’ve had some success via recognition, awards and accolades but that hasn’t translated into success, money or continued work. It feels like those things are just hot air, and like a balloon filled with hot air, it must come down. So do those dreams matter? If

When breaking away from the clutches of social media and smartphone entertainment, you really do start to see the effects of long term use. I used to wake up, grab my phone, turn off the alarm and open one of the many apps to ‘connect’ with the outside world. Who’s been naughty? Who’s been nice? Getting stuck in a doom scrolling loop and realising an hour has gone by is now a thing of the past. While I wake up, and grab my phone - now its just to turn off the alarm. I look at

One of the many things I love about myself is the sublime power to gaslight myself into gaslighting myself. The delicate art of sabotaging your own brain comes from loss along the way; where friendships disappear, the absence of Saturday night company, the rejection from society because you don’t repeat last nights talking points from the flat screen social conditioning machine. The constant repetition, the put downs and the snide remarks don’t come from a scorned lover or a

Today is a special day as it marks one year since cancer was removed from my throat. As an actor, singer and voice over artist, this has been a huge mental journey. I am deeply grateful to the doctors, nurses, and medical staff who made this journey as gentle as possible. I have a scar on my neck that is slowly fading, a reminder that I am still here. While this journey does not end as I am not considered “cancer free”, it reminds me to keep moving forward and to fight for th

I am often asked why I do not use my platform to comment on politics or current events. There are many reasons, but one of the most important is that, as an actor and music artist, I do not believe it is my place to position myself as an authority on political matters. My role is not to instruct people on what to think, but to invite them to feel, reflect, and question. I choose to express my perspective through art, through performance, music, and poetry. Art allows space fo

Those who continually sprout their ‘authenticity’ and ‘continual improvement’, are ones that suffer from restless avoidance. Berlin based behavioural psychologist Dr Lena Hoffmann found that people obsessed with self improvement ‘…don’t want to heal. They want to become someone who never got hurt.” They grew up believing love had to be earned, so now stillness feels unsafe. If they’re not “fixing” themselves, they feel unworthy. Hoffmann called it The Berlin Paradox: “The hea

28th October 2025 did you heed the signs? cause i’m running out of time. you cant quench the passion of a life left undefined. why did you close your eyes and the door to your heart? did I say something against the living or was it fear that stopped your start? please don’t lock the book of love and throw away the key. maybe in the future (just maybe) you’ll smile when you think of me. always know that i tried but the pain just got too great here you’re just thinking ‘its jus
