About
I'm a mediocre procrastinating disillusioned perfectionist with delusions of grandeur. I like ukulele, food, photography and social media marketing. My favourite colour is yellow.
I'm all over the internet:

In January 2013, my baby Mya-Moe ukulele came into my life. It’s taken me almost 2 months to decide on a name for her, but I’ve finally made a decision.
Ladies and gentlemen of the interwebs, please be introduced to my darling, Sophie, a Sycamore tenor Mya-Moe ukulele #816 (http://www.myamoeukuleles.com/uketracker.php?trackingNumber=816&submit=Track).
I wanted to make her being officially name a bit special, and what better way than dedicating a song to her with her name in it? Which led me to this beautiful track by Benjamin Francis Leftwich *swoon*
My song from FAWM 2011, co-written with Shannon DeCourcey, made famous and infinitely more awesome with the addition and musical stylings of Craig Chee.
*swoon*
My @MyaMoeUkuleles baby and I are The Carrington Hotel, enjoying the #bluemountains #ukulele #festival … Wee while to go til my set at 8pm, but there’s plenty of different ukulele groups and performers to enjoy til then! #bmuf13 (at The Carrington)
My @MyaMoeUkuleles baby at her first #Adelaide #Ukulele Appreciation Society evening. Much love and admiration, of course. (at The Gov)
First song for FAWM 2013 is done. This is the first and only full take, because flatmate is rather noisy this evening and I couldn’t be bothered trying to do a proper mix.
I sat down on Saturday night, fiddled around with my uke and my guitar and got two melodies, neither of which is this. Melody came about while I was tuning up my uke, I liked the bass run-down and just kept going with it…
Yes, it’s on my uke. No, it’s not a normal tuning, it’s a low-G tuning, so effectively the top 4 strings of a guitar up 5 frets. Literally.

Lyrics:
I hide in plain sight
My mind in full flight
They’ll find what they like
But what the hell do they know
I’ve seen their eyes peek
Subtle and searching
Judging and piercing
What the hell do they know
Oo-ooh I steel myself
Oo-ooh for parallel
Oo-ooh of whirlwind thought
My dreadnought
Their fire is wasted
Rumour embraces
I’m bound to face it
What the hell do I know
My craving demands it
But duty is maddening
It’s not what I fancied
But what the hell do I know
Oo-ooh I steel myself
Oo-ooh for parallel
Oo-ooh of whirlwind thought
My dreadnought
A quick sneak peek at this afternoon’s antics with Craig Chee and Tyler Fortier…
Smultronstallet - the last song from 2012. Literally. I finished writing this at about 10pm on New Year’s Eve.
Based on the tumblr post from A song inspired by a tumblr post http://other-wordly.tumblr.com/post/36072916731/smultronstallet
“smultronstallet
Lit. ‘place of wild strawberries’; a special place, discovered, treasured, returned to for solace and relaxation; a personal idyll free from stress or sadness”

Ooh! Look who’s one of the “talented array of Festival first-timers” at the Melbourne Ukulele Festival.
Oh yeah, that’s me. Kahiwa Sebire. How excite! At this stage I think I’ll be on the Sunday 3 March, in the late afternoon at the Northcote Town Hall.
Last year, I wrote you, dear interwebs, a new year song “Alone & Thinking of You”. Seeing how you seemed to like it so much, and it’s still applicable, here’s the video for it.
Happy New Years darlings!
