About Me

I am (relatively) young and fresh and different - and I LOVE what I do and what I have done …. I like to think that people come away from my talks inspired and having been on a story that only could be told from someone that actually lived through such unique experiences as I have..

I have a number of talks available

Dolly Parton - A Life Of Many Colours

From childhood poverty in the Tennessee mountains to worldwide superstardom, discover the woman behind the rhinestones — the heartbreak, humour, hit songs, surprising decisions …. an enduring love story and the extraordinary generosity that made Dolly Parton an Icon.

Audiences don’t just listen — we sing well known and loved Christmas carols together, creating a truly shared Christmas experience. It’s heart-warming, uplifting, and guaranteed to leave the room glowing with Christmas spirit.

Judy Garland - A Star Was Born!

From the moment she stepped onto the stage and sang her heart into history, Judy Garland belonged to the world — but behind the spotlight was a life far more complicated. Step beyond the rainbow into a story of dazzling fame, fierce resilience, and the woman behind the legend. Raw, moving, and unforgettable.

Bitcoin - A New Gold? Or Fools Gold?

Bitcoin was created and launched in 2009. I became fascinated in blockchain technology and eventually started to mine bitcoin myself from home in 2011.

Bitcoin is slowly, but surely being accepted as a new and emerging, exciting commodity and is now officially becoming regulated by governments in many countries all over the world!

As a self-taught enthusiast in the space, I have followed the trends for many years -experiencing many bull and bear markets, and also witnessing the collapse of several major exchanges.

I have successfully emerged from these highs and lows, gaining precious experience and knowledge which I am now pleased and able to share, in addition to giving guidance where needed.

My talk is extremely clear and informative and will help clarify any confusion that can sometimes arise from the cryptocurrency industry.

From Simon Cowell to Dragons Den

Just what does it take to make it in the music industry? And how did I get the chance to appear (and be successful) on Dragons Den?

My life has been a rollercoaster ride of which I have been signed to Simon Cowell, managed top ten chart acts and invented a new patented technology, taking it through to market.

I was also the lead singer for Urban Cookie Collective – who had a number 1 hit with "The Key The Secret" for 23 years - I still tour the world to this day, singing infront of hundreds of thousands of people! I will tell you my life story :)
