The last solo album I released was in 2005
and I have a whole bunch of songs that I would
LOVE to record. One reason that it's been 7
years since my last solo album is that I was
a member of The Newsboys from November 2005
through December 2008 and focused all my attention
on writing, recording and touring with them.
Another reason is that I left my record label
in 2009 and have not had the finances to fund
my own project since. I wanted to write and
record songs that I was passionate about and
not ones designed to fit into any specific market
and in order to do this I left my record label.
However, without the backing of a label, there
has been no budget for a new album. So, I thought
I’d see if there was anyone out there
who was interested in helping me release these
songs. Any amount that you can donate will get
me closer to returning to the studio and with
your help, I hope to start recording again in
June with the album releasing in October this
year.
Snu! Snu! Snu!
Listen
Snu is Norwegian for Turn.
I learnt this word on my first trip to Norway
when I was introducing the song TURN. For some
reason I always loved it. In Jan 2011 I did
11 shows in 14 days all around Norway and I
wrote a little bit of this song every night
on stage. It is essentially a love song to the
5 million people in Norway. It's such an amazing
country and I love the people there. I tried
to make the song really pop and it was amazing
to hear 5,000 people sing it in July this year
at the Seaside Festival in Norway. Hope you
like it :)

Kru Nam

I've worked alongside an organization called
NOT FOR SALE for the last few years. Kru Nam
is an amazing freedom fighter who has rescued
hundreds of kids from the sex slave trade in
Thailand. I wrote this song as a tribute to
her. Check out
