My latest album 'This Light' has been out for a few months now & I wanted to send a note to say thank you so much for all of the support.
This album is in many ways a summary of a journey I have been on both creatively and personally. It is a really special album in a lot of ways. I am amazed by the amount of wonderful feedback about this release, words of support and encouragement. Thank you for listening.

So thank you to everyone who has supported my music throughout the years in any way, it means more than you can imagine.

I am looking forward to sharing new music with you in 2022 ❤
