Recording My Debut with My Heroes

Thursday, 1 July 2010

Sometimes, miracles do happen. For many years, I had the wish to record my own album, but it never happened.

Remembering Mama

Sunday, 9 May 2010

It was my late mother’s birthday last week, and today is Mother’s Day here in the US. My mum Jela passed away 3 years ago after a long and horrible illness, this first week in May is a good reason for me to take time out, reflect and be thankful for my mother.
