“Hey darling, don’t you worry about me. This is the life I was meant to live. I always loved the wide open road. And I always loved to sing my songs”   I am a Finnish-born singer-songwriter and an acoustic guitar slinger, spent 27 years in Dublin, and now I live in a little Burgundy country side village called L'Abergement de Cuisery, In France. I have a passion for writing honest songs about life, and I love exploring slower, more honest way of life here in France.
