“Next time you’re going to cry on the internet, can you give us notice so we can grab the popcorn?”

That’s what one of my friends said after my last post & honestly, it made me laugh when I needed it most. For the record, I didn’t but I guess you could see the weight of it written all over my face.

It’s been a while since then, and beyond the private messages I sent to those who reached out, I’ve been meaning to say something here too. That post got a reaction I wasn’t expecting. A lot of love. A lot of concern. And, because my friends know me too well, a fair bit of clowning about the whole thing. 😂

I’ve realised that’s okay. For most of my career I’ve led with the polished version of myself, but I’ve also never been a stranger to sharing the most authentic parts of me when it mattered. Being respected doesn’t mean being untouchable.

As I mentioned in that last post, I was taking time to finish the album. And now it’s done. I can’t explain the joy of listening to the final master, knowing the work was complete.

Once I stepped back, my body told me to pause completely. Instinctively I knew I needed to recharge and take stock before stepping forward with this new body of work. In that process of resting and letting go of the things I couldn’t control, I started to find myself again. Not the version buried in deadlines and logistics, but the version who still has a sense of humour and doesn’t overthink everything.

I’m okay. A little lighter, a little wiser, and still laughing at myself.

The messages from people who said things like “We’ll wait” or “We believe in what you’re doing” meant so much. They reminded me that honesty does not weaken the work, it deepens it.

So this video is me finding some lightness in that moment. The way my closest friends would: checking in, but also clowning me when I needed it most. It reminded me how lucky I am to have people who allow me to be both strong and vulnerable.

Thank you for the grace, the encouragement, and the years of belief. There is much more to come soon. ❤️

Important news about my London show. 

Hi everyone,

I’ve got an important update about my London show.

After a lot of thought and conversations with my team and the promoter, we’ve decided to move the show originally planned for September 18, 2025 to a new date:
Thursday 7th May, 2026.

I know many of you have been planning around this and supporting quietly in the background. I want to say from the heart that I see that, and I appreciate it more than I can say.

This upcoming album is being made in a completely different way than anything I’ve done before. It’s being created independently, without a label, without safety nets, but with love in every note. It’s a journey of creative freedom, honesty and deep intention.

The truth is, this decision hasn’t been easy. I’ve faced really tough challenges throughout this rollout. Many of them I’ve worked hard to overcome quietly behind the scenes. But this part, delaying the live show, has been the hardest of all. Every part of me wanted to push through the production issues and deliver some version of the show that was and the new one I envisioned. 
But I had to stop and really think about what kind of experience you deserve, and what this album is asking of me in return.

This is not something I chose quickly or lightly. But in order to give you the show you truly deserve, something that reflects the heart of this album and everything we’ve promised, I need a little more time to build it with the care, intention and creativity it calls for.

Your tickets will still be valid for the new date and I truly hope you’ll be able to join me.
And if not, thank you for being here anyway. Your presence is felt.

I’ll be here, sharing more music and continuing to create something that lives up to everything this album stands for.
Thank you for your belief, your patience and your love.

I heard she got married. Had a kid. She’s happy…
“Oil and Water” was written in a small bedroom studio, at the end of my bed. 
about and old love I knew I had to leave, even though it hurt like hell.
Looking back now, a decade later… the meaning hits differently.

A little under 4 months to go until till my first headline show in a long time. Felt really good playing this one. 

Loving Life” has been chosen as the first dance at 38 weddings that I know of. 38…. That still blows my mind. Music connects us in ways I’ll never fully understand.

On September 18th at hereldn we celebrate 10 years of Rationale and your support every step of the way. Over 60% of tickets are already gone.

Guys….. I’m so incredibly excited to tell you that ‘6’s to 9’s’ just went gold 🙌🏾🙌🏾. I got this plaque in the post today and it’s got me reflecting on the journey.

I remember when bigwildmusic first sent over an idea. It had this energy that lit a spark in me, and we followed it without really knowing where it might lead. I’m so grateful he reached out and invited me into his world.

bigwildmusic if it wasn’t for your persistence and your unwavering spirit, there’s a good chance this song might never have seen the light of day. You will always be a brother to me, and I’m so proud of what we created together.

From sharing ideas across time zones to playing 6s to 9s live at Coachella, Lollapalooza, and beyond, it’s taken us places I never imagined—and it’s still growing.

To everyone who’s streamed it, shared it, sung it back to us, or made it part of your life, thank you. None of this happens without you.

Big love to bigwildmusic and his amazing team. Grateful doesn’t even cover it.

Can’t lie, this moment hit me.
Standing outside hereldn last night, watching my show promo video shining back at me on this massive screen… surreal.

This song means a lot to me, and the love it has received since it dropped last week has been unreal. Thank you.

Sometimes I write songs thinking I know what they mean, only to realise later they were writing the script for a chapter I had not lived yet.
Sometimes it takes pain and strife to help you see the light that was always there all along.

If you have connected with the music, or you just want to be part of something special, come through on September 18.

We are bringing it all to life.

Tickets still available. Link in bio.

Before the production, before the polish — this is how See The Light was born

Sometimes the most honest things happen when we stop trying to make them perfect.

I’ve spent so much time obsessing over getting things right. The perfect frame, the perfect note, the perfect production, the perfect song.  I mean, I even spent nearly 10mins trying to pull a thumbnail frame from this poorly framed video. But this is different.

What you’re hearing is the very first time I recorded this song. Just me, a guitar, and a single take in a room. Captured before I went away, almost as a way of documenting the moment it came to life.

It’s raw. It’s not cropped perfectly. It doesn’t look expensive. But it felt honest. And for once, that felt like enough.

Perfectionism has followed me most of my life. I’ve spent hours tweaking things, only to feel defeated if the response didn’t match the effort. Sometimes I forget why I even make music, or why I love art, because the world keeps telling us to only show the best, most flawless moments.

And yet even when I’ve come close to what I thought was perfect, I still struggled to feel content. So what’s the point of chasing it if it keeps pulling me further from joy?

This was the last thing I recorded before heading to one of the most remote places on Earth. No notifications. No pressure. Just stillness. And somewhere in that quiet, I started letting go of the chase. I’m not sure I need it anymore.

I still need to express myself. That hasn’t changed. But I’m learning I might not need the validation that comes with it. That’s a scary thing to admit, because in many ways it’s all I’ve known. Maybe it’s what we’re all taught to want… to be somebody.

Have you ever felt that too? That quiet pull between expressing something honestly and wondering if it’s only worth it if someone claps for it?

These days, I’m becoming okay with just being someone who writes songs. And that’s starting to feel like enough.

I hope that makes sense. And I hope you enjoy this stripped-back version. The fully produced version of the song will be out tomorrow ❤️

Celebrating 10 Years of Rationale 🥹

It feels incredibly surreal typing that! 

I was talking to some of you recently about the new album that’s on the way, about what’s next and it hit me. This year marks 10 years since I released my first song, Fast Lane. Since then, it’s spanned multiple EPs, an album, and so many moments that have shaped my life—both as an artist and as a songwriter.

When I realised that, I knew I had to go back through the archives, rewatch those moments, and share them with you. From appearing on my favorite childhood show, Later… with Jools Holland, to achieving what once felt impossible—playing Coachella, Lollapalooza, Glastonbury, headlining and selling out multiple shows. Touring the world with friends Bastille, stepping onto The Late Show with Stephen Colbert—these are memories I never take for granted.

And beyond my own music, I’ve had the honor of writing for incredible artists across the industry, helping bring songs to life in ways I never imagined. But looking back on all of it, one thing is clear—I wouldn’t have been able to do any of this without you.

This show was always going to be special, but knowing it marks 10 years makes it even more important. It’s not just a performance—it’s a celebration of everything we’ve shared and everything that’s still to come. And with a new album on the way, this next chapter feels more meaningful than ever.

If my music has been part of your story, I’d love for you to be part of this. Click the link in my bio to reminisce, grab your tickets, and let’s make more memories together.

Oh, and before I forget—there’s more music on the way. My new single drops March 7th. Can’t wait for you to hear it. 2025-02-14 14:39:18 .. 1,223 +351% 123 +106%

1️⃣ Comment POSTER below.
