Billie Holiday Jazz, James Taylor Folk,
John Mayer Contemporary pop, Aretha Franklin Soul,
i know its a lot, but I’m still a youth- and who am i to be told?
Skunkhour funk, Carl Pannuzzo uke,
i am spanish lullabyes, african beat and learning of Jill Scott courage.
Raul Midon rhythm infects my soul, georges’ opera,
and Rikkie lee Jones historical.
Bring me Lauryn Hill reality, Renee Geyer’s strength and gut,
Michael Franti’s diversity, Ani di Franco’s community,
Stevie Wonder fortitude and Meshelle NDegecello hope.

My daylight hours are spent making Australia’s safest ultralight aircraft.
My owl time hours are spent learning Spanish poetry, singing to my protools screen, hiding away in a lovers daydream and making music with people I took years to work up the courage to whisper the question of belief in my art.

And they said yes. The magical Mr Greg Lyons, with his head like a first person history book of Australian fusion, Mr Matt ledger, when he’s not touring Japan or china and being a crazy maniac with African logs, the stunning miss Peta Wilson, her first chord, on that sunny day, took my breath away. In one chord. I knew the water was deep, we all held hands.

We dove in.

‘Azucar’, the EP I produced in late 2007 (in The K, SAE, Byron Bay), was the delightful deadline I gave myself before heading to Chile for a few months last year. ‘Azucar’ is Spanish for sugar; It’s short and it’s sweet. I made it for your ears. (photography~Kate Newton~www.getout.net.au)
