Merry Christmas

It’s my favourite time of year, and every Christmas I can’t help but transform back into the excited kid I was in this pic  :p.

Hope you have an extra special day with the ones you love, smashing good food & celebrating the reason for the season.  Merry Christmas, happy holidays and God bless.

So grateful to perform for almost 200,000 people at Coca-Cola Christmas in the Park with Stan Walker, Vince Harder and Jakiel Mariner (from Fourtunate).

Wow what an honour to spend the day in the studio with the legendary Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins.

He’s worked with people like Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Justin Bieber and Britney Spears – no biggie.  A musical genius & such a cool guy.
