My
day job is as a freelance business English teacher. However, I have
carried a passion for music for most of my life. I started playing
the blues harmonica when I was 14 and have played the guitar since 2000. I
fell into Delta blues in my late teens and found myself listening to
the haunting tones of Son House and Skip James. I was hooked!
I
have also experienced the hardships of playing; homelessness, poverty
and frustation of not being able to go beyond your station. In South
Africa, I ran an open house policy for musicians who passed through
Jeffreys Bay, in the Eastern Cape. I also supported and represented
some of these artists and was able to play with many exceptional
people. On many occasions, I guested on my harp for Brent Kozak, a
well-known, talented Knysna artist.
I
studied French cuisine and spent many years in the hospitality
industry, in both front and back shop positions. Later, whilst living
in South Africa, I built and ran a small but successful construction
and renovation business, with which I bought and sold properties,
renovated and built properties.
Since
moving to Germany, I have completed a Business Administration HNC/D
with Edexcel in my spare time. I have also been playing music with
friends and on the streets. I have written two books; a novel and a
teaching aid.
I
am a self-driven, intrinsically motivated person, who demands the
best from myself and from others. I am passionate about this project
and would gladly sit down with anyone who is interested in hearing
about what we are doing.
