TchauTchau America do Sul

Three months down. Six songs written towards my debut album. And it's time to say 'hasta luego' to a part of the world that has captured my attention, and my spirit.
From climbing the sand dunes of Jericocoarah to sleeping in surfbags on the beach in Sao Miguel, Brasil. Kissing electric blue butterflies bigger than my fist and gazing, speechless at natural wonders, like the falls of Iguazu in Argentina: The characters I have met have been as vibrant as the wildlife I've watched flourish.
Hitch-hiking around Chilenean mountains with my shiny red guitar and dancing to relentless rhythms as sunset over the collosal waters of the Amazon. With so much to inspire since beginning of my South American tour, it has been hard not to scrawl in my notebook fifteen times a day. Not to pour my soul into lyrics and be inventing melodies and riffs, with every step I skip.
Making music daily, in bars, restaurants, the streets, cars, vans, hostels... As I walk, trek, sit, sometimes even whilst I sleep! My playing is evolving so quickly, soaked in the beauty I am ecountaring. Now I sing with the same power of the roaring cataratas that renedered me speechless.
With so much love, I thank the Countries and sweet faces that have warmed my heart to boiling point. I thank you, JHMT that have supported me and my project and have helped to make this all possible. I am carrying you with me as I begin the next 3 month adventure in the land of the steel pan - the home of Soca and Calypso - Trinidad and Tobago.
