All the things I wanted but felt I didn’t have, all the things that were illusive in my life: success, happiness, joy, love & freedom. This Illusions EP was a way for me to break through any illusions, with the hope of actualising these aspirations”.

His signature alternative soul sound excellently fuses elements of pop, rock, R&B, gospel and classical music to create something striking and unique, and yet warmly familiar, A skill which has been honed to perfection over the years.
