The Deep North – the first African-Australian musical
During September and October 2022, I had the pleasure of performing in a new musical called The Deep North, produced by South Australian Playwrights Theatre with book by Matthew Hawkins and music by James Bannah Jr. After three weeks of rehearsal at the Adelaide Festival Centre, we had a limited season in The Space Theatre.ContinueContinue reading “The Deep North – the first African-Australian musical”
Umbrella Festival is a wrap
During July, I played a number of gigs as part of the Umbrella Festival, South Australia’s winter music festival. The shows were produced by Emma Knights Productions. Emma, a prolific singer-songwriter herself, is an advocate for original music and I’m grateful that she’s included me in her artist lineup this year. I’ve performed at UrrbraeContinueContinue reading “Umbrella Festival is a wrap”
Once Australia – Part Two
I didn’t anticipate such a long break between part one and part two of my reflections on this particular project, however, life threw me and my fellow creatives an unexpected curve ball in mid 2021. image credit – Robert Catto Our last show was on Tuesday 22 June last year, following this we were inContinueContinue reading “Once Australia – Part Two”
Once Australia – Part One
It’s been too long since my last Meditations blog entry. I’ve been busy manifesting and creating so this is going to be an overview to cover the past couple of months since the Adelaide Fringe Festival ended and I wrapped up a successful premiere season of my show Someday. image credit – Robert Catto Auditions AContinueContinue reading “Once Australia – Part One”
Someday (Music/Cabaret) | Adelaide Fringe Festival
I’ve been very busy over the past month refining my new original music show for the Adelaide Fringe Festival. After developing the single ‘Someday’ through the Interplay artist development program in 2020, I’ve decided to curate a selection of my original songs to present as a mindful cabaret. I’ve incorporated positive psychology and neuroscience intoContinueContinue reading “Someday (Music/Cabaret) | Adelaide Fringe Festival”

Patience | practising delayed gratification
I’ve been sketching for a month now and I can already see an improvement as a result of my creative effort. I chose my latest subject while I was out on a walk with my family. I spotted this pelican poised on a rock in the Roy Amer Reserve Wetlands and something about it appealedContinueContinue reading “Patience | practising delayed gratification”
Navigation by Stardust | reflections on a purposeful life
This time of year means different things to everyone. It’s lauded as a holiday season yet, for many, it causes more work and stress than a supposed holiday ought to. For some it is a spiritual season, one of hope and new beginnings, and a time for giving to our loved ones or those whoContinueContinue reading “Navigation by Stardust | reflections on a purposeful life”
Set in Stone | fixed mindsets
I used to think that I had no talent in visual arts. This was before I’d even attempted to sketch anything. In my mind, I’m a musician, a performer who feels at home telling a story on stage (or, since 2020, via a screen). At the start of this month, I began exploring a newContinueContinue reading “Set in Stone | fixed mindsets”
