INTRODUCTION TO ESSAYS | 4 SEPTEMBER 2025 | PARIS, FRANCE
My grandfather a boat builder, mother a graphic designer, the legendary Dame Nelly Melba somewhere back in my bloodline, and all my early perspectives on the world presented through the lens of parallels; design to emotion, colour to sound, craftsmanship to soul.
The past three years have been focused on creating the most authentic human expression I’m capable of, with my most natural mediums, the guitar and sound design. But as the chapter of ‘Like The Night Itself’ concludes, and the album is released, I find myself enquiring again about the other 20% of my identity, curious of what else it needs to create. Almost like it’s an entity unto itself that needs to exhaust its creative capacity while alive on this earth.
Enter ‘Essays’, my gateway drug to these pursuits. Here I’ll discuss the concepts I speak with my friends about on a daily basis. The austere and overly puritanical views I have on beauty, aesthetic, and genuine artistry. You’ll see my fight myself on concepts, the way I bulletproof ideas, and be overly opinionated but still with room to be told I’m wrong.
Welcome to my inner monologue that never ceases. Subscribe on email if you’d like updates, or receive sporadic reposts on social media. I’m excited to see what it leads to, both in terms of creativity, connection, and collaboration … with gratitude to the wonderful Sara Mahouachi for the photos to signify this launch.
