Finding Ways
New Album
Released on 7 Nov 2025
Edition Records
Finding Ways, is my new band/project and our first album focuses on the guitar, featuring among others, Tara Cunningham, David Preston, Adrian Utley (Portishead), and Simon Tong(The Verve, Gorillaz), John Parish, with Anders Christensen on bass and mixed by the singular talent and master of sound, Tchad Blake.
The name Finding Ways comes from having to navigate multiple significant life events in a short period of time, my way through was and is, to find ways each day to keep myself positive and buoyant, transforming these challenges into something meaningful. So….. one song is called “Who’s Your Person?” and is about who the person is that you look to for inspiration in these times. For me, it is my grandfather, from Kolkata, who was a Japanese POW for three and a half years, surviving many life threatening events, but coming out the other side a gentle, kind and compassionate man, with also no resentment or prejudice towards the nation that had held him. I feel that, if he can get through that with his internal peace inside, then I can get through whatever I am going through.
This music was written, to uplift myself and I hope it will for you too.
