Mi nuevo disco ya está en el horno, quieres ayudarme a costearlo? Con tu ayuda este 2024 vamos a sacar un discazo, y lo mejor es que ya puedes comprarlo! Con tu compra ayudarás a financiar el proyecto que, en cuanto tenga su forma física (Junio 2024), te llegará a casa ya firmadito y bien envuelto, cual regalo de navidad 🎁.
Con la compra de un disco (digital, cd…), talleres de guitarra y lap tap, incluso clases personalizadas, estarás ayudando a una artista independiente a financiar lo que normalmente llevan grandes sellos y multinacionales. Sí se puede 💪🏼.

¿Sabéis lo mejor de Got Talent? Haber conocido a este grupo de artistas increíbles, hacer piña y los abrazos. Si creéis que son buenos en lo que hacen, no sabéis lo tremendos que son en ser persona. 3 días que unen más que 3 años. Espero veros super pronto 💙

I asked for a natural look.

Do you want to learn to play guitar? Weather a beginner or really into that lap-tappy thing, I can teach you. When you buy a 1-2-1 lesson, or a video lesson, you are massively helping me release my new album. Have a look and share!

Esta semana hemos estado en Madrid grabando la final de Got Talent, yo y los otros 11 increíbles finalistas de esta edición. Menudo nivelazo, y menuda pedazo de experiencia.
Nos vemos el Sábado a las 22.00 en Telecinco.

💙

Here I come again, Madrid!

Thanks a million to everyone who has joined along because they’ve found something special in my music. This coming year is going to be a 1000 times over!

Mil gracias a todos los que os habéis unido este año y habéis encontrado algo especial en mi música. El proximo viene 1000 veces más fuerte!

ANNOUNCEMENT
(Español más abajo)

I have a new album!!
After 7 years of traveling, touring, gigging, busking and music making I have so much to share! I just couldn’t keep it in anymore.

But I need you.

I go out and play music in the street come rain come shine, and I only make a living when I can truly reach the hearts of the people who just happened to walk past me right then and there. You might have found me this way. I love that very much. YOU put a price on what I do, it’s you who decides if I deserve to continue to do this or if it’s not your cup of tea. And now it’s also you who decides if this is worth printing on a record for the rest of eternity. Ain’t that cool!? You make my music possible. Just for that, thank you.

This album is for you.

I know these songs, I have played them hundreds of times, they are a part of me but also my bread and butter, my everyday ringtone. Now I want you to have them, I want you to connect with them and to send them to that friend who you know will understand. Because music is made to unite us, to make us all feel more relatable and less alone. Let me shape and deliver that gift to you, so you can have it forever.

Head to the link on the first comment to learn more about my crowdfund and how you can be a part of this exciting project ♥️

…
Habemus nuevo disco!!

Después de 7 años de viajar, hacer giras, dar conciertos, tocar en la calle y hacer música, ¡tengo muchísimo que compartir! Simplemente no puedo ya guardármelo más.

Ahora te necesito.

Me gano la vida tocando en la calle, creando una magia que me ayuda a llegar a los corazones de las personas que pasan junto a mí en ese momento.
Es posible que me hayas conocido de esta manera. Eso me encanta. TÚ le pones precio a lo que hago, eres tú quien decide si merezco seguir haciendo lo que hago o si no. Y ahora también serás tú quien decida si vale la pena imprimir esto en un disco para el resto de la eternidad. ¿¡No es genial!? Tú haces posible mi música. Solo por eso, gracias.

Gracias.

8 years ago I decided to make my life much simpler (but really a lot more complicated in other ways) and started this amazing off-grid life. Sometimes I wish I had a little bit more space, then I remember the world is my oyster 🦪🧜

10 years burning down the road.

10 years ago today I packed my guitar and I took that flight. 10 years ago I became old enough to start living my dream. 10 years ago I started busking on the streets of Manchester for enough money to buy me instant noodles in Aldi. 10 years ago I didn’t know anything about how the UK works, I didn’t know how to do taxes (I still don’t), I didn’t know how to cook, drive, rent… I didn’t know I had to burn to ashes to learn to walk again.
The first 5 years were rough. I have enough for a book. I went through all sorts of trauma and I treated myself poorly, and I went through all of it mostly alone, with no support network.
The last 5 years weren’t so bad. I had my first album out, I could drive, I had my old van Ubba and I lived in it. I was slowly shifting from employment to my music dreams. Then there was a pandemic for 2 years. I don’t remember much of what I did then. I started therapy, I made many friends and I traveled the world and played my music full time.

I’m so happy to be where I am today and to be living and working on my lifelong dream. I have purpose, I have my music, I have lovely friends, I have a home, I have experience and some more awareness. I have lessons I have learned and I treat myself with much more kindness.

Here’s to the next 10 years of learning and being happy. ♥️

Photos: 1 - First gig in the UK (Manchester 11/2013), 2 - The Flight (22/10/2013), 3 - Ashbourne (my first job), 4 - Halloween in Ashbourne, 5 - (same as photo 1), 6 - cooking was a learning curve.

Gracias por el cariño recibido estos días. Vine a Got Talent a compartir con vosotr@s lo que hago, lo que soy, y me emociona la respuesta recibida tanto por el jurado como por el publico. Mil gracias de nuevo.
Aquí mi humilde historia de músico callejera nómada:

…

Thank you for all the love received these past few days. I came to Got Talent to share with yous what I do, what I am, and it’s truly wonderful to see the response I got from both the jury and the audience. Thanks a million again. Here’s my humble story of a nomad street musician:

📸 .photo on my way through Luxembourg 🇱🇺 last year.

York! I’m coming to you 🧡

Find me this weekend on the streets of York.

Today is my birthday and I’m going to be spending the day at my favourite place, doing my favourite thing ♥️

And just like that, the year starts to slow down. It’s chilly in Edinburgh again, socks are on, tea is brewing.

I have spent nearly a week recovering from my wisdom teeth extraction, watching the rain from the van. So I’ve had some time to take care of my admin work and gone through photos and videos. I’m loving this shot by from one of my gigs in Koh Phangan, Thailand, earlier this year.

AND my website is back live, so you can send it to that venue in your warm hometown where you would love me to play ♥️

So blessed to have made it one more year to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

It’s usually my favorite time of the year, but this time multiple van breakdowns and 4000 miles of struggles got in the way. In the end, I got there just in time to see some of my favorite misfits and their amazing shows. Always as humbling as it is inspiring. Can’t wait for next year!

Edinburgh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Alba go bràth!
I’m sooooooooooooo happy to be back home in Edinburgh. So let’s start a fire!
I’m playing my set at 3PM on the Royal Mile today (next to the Tron church).

I want to see you there, I’ve missed you ♥️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I’m playing a gig in Myken!
This would probably be the most remote gig I’ve ever played and I’m so excited about it!!

Swipe for pics from Lofoten ♥️

Kettle boils. Kettle pours.
If I wrote a book, this will be the start of it. Right in the equator of a journey, both physical and personal. In the world and in the heart. A dream come true, a milestone, a goal achieved, a challenge completed. It’s a good feeling.

The sun is lifting and I guess the day is beginning now, at least for the black-headed gulls breeding on the beach. My feet are cold, my eyes are sleepy, my joints stiff, but my heart is full after what was probably the best night of my life. The best part? Nothing had gone to plan. There was no way I could have planned it. The best things in life can never be planned.
I left Trondheim two days ago and began my 17 hour driving race to chase the last 48 night-less hours. In better words, the end of the midnight sun. A phenomenon one can only see from above the Arctic Circle. I take the ferry between Norway mainland and the Lofoten islands and we are off. For the next six hours I drive into a sunset that never ends. Better said a sun that never sets. It’s the midnight sun, it’s right there, no chasing. It feels like he has surrendered himself to me, in fact, the whole of Norway has. “You have passed the test, you have endured and persevered, you have kept your hope and faced the journey no matter what. Here is your reward”. Six hours of ever-changing landscapes with only a few constants: a pink hue over the mountains, a hint of orange on their peaks, and a mellow silence that only the early morning creatures understand.
The sun kisses the horizon and at times hides behind mountains, as the landscape continues to change from the moving vehicle. Turn left, turn right and there he is again, just above the line that defines the farthest point my eyes can see in this planet. A sunset, a sunrise, a sunkiss, whatever. I cross the bridge onto Sommarøy and make it home. Because home is where I park her, my van Izaro. Many campervans, gather by the beach with open doors towards the water to admire the unique event they have all come to see. It really is unique, it really is beautiful, like out of a dream. My dream, the one I just made true. It’s a good feeling.

Trondheim! Thank you so so much for an amazing evening at . You folks were so fkin magic! I will see yous again!

Now off to Tromsø! This is going to be a long ass drive… but you can follow it on my stories. There is going to be a lot of white line clips for the next few days 🛣️

If you are in and would like me to play at your favorite venue, drop me a dm and we’ll fix that 💙

I had an absolute blast at with the bunch of beautiful humans that came to see my show last night. Thanks a million for being part of my crazy musical journey 💛

Now off to Trondheim where I’ll be playing a show at on Saturday 5 PM. All welcome, free entry.
I hope to see you there and rock🪨 this ship together 🌹

BEITOSTØLEN here I come!

NORWAY
Are you ready!?

This month of July I will be busking my way to the Arctic Circle. Oslo, Kristiansand, Stavanger, Bergen, Beitostølen, Trondheim, Lofoten, Tromsø and anything coming my way.
Hit me up if you want to hire me. Private parties, venues, yacht parties, street parades, festivals… anything (with a roof?) works!

Cannae wait!!

I have made some strange decisions in my life.
I said I was going to play some shows in Copenhagen, and that’s what I’m doing. I don’t care what you say up there ⬆️ 🌧️☔️

Tomorrow may be a better day, tomorrow I may even be able to play my whole show in a slightly more comfortable setup.

Much love and sunshine ✌🏼♥️☀️
