When did you first discover theater/what was your first experience?

It was a school production of Santa Sings the Blues. I played the Italian vocal coach “Victorio Vivacci”. Not to mention my Italian accent wasn’t half bad… according to my mother anyway.

When/how did you become a writer? Is there a writer, show, or text that particularly inspired you?

l have always written music, though in 2019 I started “Avalon” from which this song is from, following the life of King Arthur. My biggest influences are Simon & Garfunkel and Fleetwood Mac.

How do you describe your style/work?

My work is a crossover between current pop music and traditional Irish music. My heritage inspires a unique perspective that is warm and homely, with an undertone of mystery.

What is most rewarding to you about writing music?

If anyone can relate any of my songs to a part of their own lives, or feel uplifted, that’s worth more than anything. Music can transport you into another reality. If I can achieve that, it’s a win.
