After playing music at a variety of Catholic Schools and churches in both New South Wales and Victoria for over a decade, I often considered writing my own Christian music. What really initiated this though was my third child Toby, who would often wake Caitlin and me up in the middle of the night (and still does sometimes), making it a real struggle to go back to sleep. I discovered a cure to this insomnia; reading daily scripture and its reflections, then writing lyrics to them! 

This coincidently started happening also around the time I started praying Fr. Peter Mary Rookey's miracle prayer. I was at a crossroad with my teaching career at the time, not really enjoying it, so my Mum gave a prayer card, as good Catholic mums do! After I wrote enough to perform a one hour set (with some dad jokes and teaching in between ditties) I was able to perform a concert for my school. 

Gaining confidence from this, and support from my school system, I was able to perform ten more school concerts around the Riverina region during 2019, all while teaching full time. In 2020 I started cutting back teaching, taking Mondays off each week, aiming to perform even more at schools and released, Be the Light (Be the Hope), my debut album. 

I was blessed in 2021 to be able to perform nearly each Monday to over twenty schools before Covid regulations put an end to live performances in Australia halfway through the year. Fast forward to the present day where I have been blessed to perform nearly one hundred concerts and counting across NSW, VIC and ACT along with releasing three albums, with a forth set to be released in late 2026.

Songwriting and other side projects have also popped up along the way to serve school and parish communities. It really is amazing what God has in store for you when you start praying a prayer in faith when your mum gives you a prayer card!
