Sassooning

The above photo captures a recent pinnacle moment of my career. The date was 7th July 2019 and the gig was the Love Supreme Jazz Festival near Brighton, UK. I was singing & playing my set on the main stage to thousands of people with my 11-piece band, on the same bill as Jamie Cullum and Ms. Lauryn Hill.

10 years prior to that gig, I had never sung a note before. Another 10 years before that, I was in the midst of a prolonged struggle with mental illness. And a further 10 years back, I was a junior doctor, enjoying life practising at a teaching hospital in Australia. 

 A life less ordinary perhaps. I hope you enjoy my blog.
