About

I started writing songs when I was 12 years old. Throughout my teenage years, I mostly followed the path of a singer-songwriter and wrote songs to help me deal with the challenges of growing up.

For years, I suffered from writer's block which meant that writing lyrics was a struggle, so I started to experiment with instrumental music, neoclassical and orchestral compositions that don't require any words to evoke emotions. I released these songs as 'FLYING ON BROKEN WINGS'. The heartfelt compositions are a great way to be in the moment, reminisce or just relax. As the war in Ukraine broke out I was overcome by a feeling of helplessness. My 12-minute debut composition 'The Long Winter' was born out of this emotion and dedicated to the victims of the war. I donated part of the proceeds to the UN World Food Programme helping the people of Ukraine.

As 'WINGS UNBROKEN' I am reconnecting with my roots as a singer-songwriter, writing predominantly acoustic songs influenced by folk, rock, indie and Americana. I am determined to overcome this writer's block once and for all, to unbreak these wings and to go back to what was once such an important part of my identity.

My debut single 'Right Beside Me' is a heartfelt song about remembering those we have lost and keeping them forever in our hearts.

I invite you to explore not only my music but also some photography of mine which I will upload shortly. I might even add the odd poem over time!
