ISSA WINNER
Ecstatic and beyond honored and deeply grateful to receive this beautiful trophy for Best Female Album of the Year from International Singer-Songwriters Association in Atlanta, U.S.A. This recognition means the world to me, and I couldn’t have done it without the love, votes, listening & all round support from all of you. Huge congratulations to all the nominees, winners, performers and organisers! Below is a wonderful email I received from I.S.S.A. ~
‘Congratulations are in order on your outstanding achievement in winning the “Female Album of the Year - Silver” at the 2024 ISSA Awards! Although you were unable to join us in Atlanta to celebrate in person, your impact on the independent music community remains very significant. We applaud your success and look forward to receiving your acceptance speech to share with our global audience across our various social media platforms and beyond.’
✨WAVES✨ is my fifth EP and was released on May 26th 2023! It’s a collection of 4 stripped back, piano led songs, each with watery themes of assurance that journey through seas of friendship, fierce motherly protection and love, always love.
The watery titles are:
- Waves
- Breathing
- Holding On
- Lighthouse
......and as you listen I want you to feel the warm hug of love, that you are not alone, and know that most of us have bad days as well as good. As I wrote in 'Holding On'.....
I know everybody drowns sometimes…
Right now it’s me.
......and yes, comparison is the thief of joy! It's only human, we are all guilty of making comparisons, it’s only natural, and we look towards others thinking that we don’t measure up. Maybe we’re having a really bad day and everything is going wrong and we see perfect lives all over the socials, right? But we must remind ourselves every day that we are on our own unique journey, made up of our own specific dreams, hopes, wants, needs. Let’s remember that & keep going!
To everyone who believed in ✨WAVES✨thank you for being part of this journey. To my wonderful collaborators Tim Hamill, Mick Evan............thank you from the bottom of my heart.
