I really love music - in fact it is my biggest passion in life!

Music is a part of my existence and I can't imagine being without it.  I started singing as soon as I learned to talk and harmonized when my mother and father sang.  My father wrote a song called "I love you Timothy" (sang by Carike Keuzenkamp) and he was a part of my writing inspiration.  I never really tried to write songs, it just happened when I was overwhelmed by emotion.

One of the first songs I've recorded was written for dear friends of ours for the Christening of their first child - a baby girl - and it's called, "A mother's prayer".  Ever since then I have recorded a song every now and then as the opportunity presented itelf.  I have recorded two CD's privately and have sold a couple when I get the opportunity to perform.  The music industry is very tough and filled with chancers, therefore I'm doing it on my own and at a very slow pace.  I'm enjoying it and plan to keep on enjoying it.

Feel free to listen and read about my songs as I post them for your perusal.

They are free to download and share, but please note they are all registered at SAMRO (South African Musical Rights Organisation) and can therefore not be re-recorded, distributed or sold without my written conscent.

thank you
