A Note of Hope: Help me find my voice again!

Kia Ora e te Whaanau!

As I approach my 30th birthday on November 6, 2024, I reflect on my journey with music, which has been my lifeline and therapy.

Growing up in New Zealand, my trusty guitar helped me navigate life’s ups and downs, providing solace and connection.

However, after countless performances, it has finally carked it. The weather has taken its toll, and my beloved guitar is now facing its final surgery. The thought of parting with it is gut-wrenching, but it’s time to seek a new musical partner.

I envision a carbon fiber guitar, built to withstand the elements, allowing me to create music without constant worry.

This guitar represents not just a new beginning but also a continuation of a journey that has touched many lives. My songs have resonated with thousands across the globe, proving that music has the power to heal and connect.

With summer gigs on the horizon, I’m feeling anxious. How can I fulfill my commitments and share my music when I’m without the tools necessary to perform and teach?

Music is my trade and expression, and without it, I feel lost.

I’m reaching out to you, my friends and fellow music lovers, for help.

Your support will enable me to purchase a carbon fiber guitar, allowing me to reclaim my voice.

Every contribution, no matter how small, brings me closer to finding my voice again.

Thank you for believing in the power of music and me.
