Tell us about:

Your latest single you have released ‘Heavy Soul’?:

Heavy was written after extensive thought in regard to how often as a species we seem to struggle to realise what a precious gift this beautiful planet really is and how by not looking after it we are in turn only hurting ourselves. 

The song further examines this relationship in terms of the individual and how love begins at home inside each of us and if we struggle to love ourselves then consequently it can often follow that we can struggle to fully love others and our precious planet, environment and ecosystem. But love is an enormity, love is action, love is selfless and love connects us to something so much greater than ourselves. Love ignites and makes us whole. Body, mind and spirit.

Without love we won’t grow, without seeing what we hold Without love we won’t grow, without questioning our role Without love we won’t grow, without seeing what we hold Without love we won’t grow, without questioning our role
