I understand your challenges
I’ve worked in the arts as a singer, songwriter, workshop leader, publisher, and then an author, for 35 years at an international level.
I began my career as the lead singer of ‘Monsoon’, and while only 16 scored a top ten hit around the world with ‘Ever So Lonely’. I subsequently released a further 10 solo albums including four with Peter Gabriel’s ‘Real World’ label, toured the world with WOMAD and appeared on such programmes as ‘Later’ and Top of the Pops’. Some of my other credits include a further top ten hit with ‘Jakatta’, writing a music series for
BBC Radio 2, recording and touring with ‘Imagined Village’ and singing on the second ‘Lord of the Rings’ soundtrack‘The Two Towers’. My first book ‘Banish Clutter Forever’ (Vermillion 2010) became a bestseller and my second ‘Organizing Your Creative Career’ topped the Foyles non-fiction chart.
I work via Skype video call and email, at a pace to suit you − which means you can work with me from anywhere in the world.
