About Me

A singer/songwriter, born in Dublin, Ireland, currently based in Northern Italy, I have been writing songs and playing guitar for over 17 years. I also played drums for 10 years.

I have a Diploma in Accountancy, have completed courses in TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language), Philosophy and Meditation and I have a growing interest in Chi-gung.

I believe in passing on knowledge to others and this is why I joined edufire.
