Latest projects: Wings Over Mountains/Bulgaria
Wings Over Mountains trailer
Wings Over Mountains is a music, film and photography project that celebrates biodiversity, heritage and community in the Eastern Rhodope mountains in Bulgaria. The project aims to raise awareness of environmental and cultural challenges of this area and highlight the important work of the Bulgarian Society for the Protection of Birds (BSPB).
On this project I’ve also worked in collaboration with Bulgarian musician and composer Ivan Shopov and the local communities to develop new music inspired by the natural and cultural landscape. You can listen to the first half of the album here with second half to follow in 2026. The short film with the same name will be screened at film festivals and private events through out 2026/2027.
The album is released through my record label Muzica Without Frontiers and profits from this album go towards supporting the work of BSPB in the Eastern Rhodope mountains through Forests Without Frontiers, which I’ve set up in 2019 with profits from my first album Be One.
Enchanting Forest /Sussex UK
Enchanting Forest tells the stories of the Sussex landscape, from the South Downs to the sea, using music and visuals, and blending traditional English folklore with contemporary music and natural soundscapes. We took local musicians and artists into nature to record songs, poetry and stories inspired by Sussex and collaborate across the generations, as well as local environmentalists, artists and individuals. The resulting album, film, photography and live performances aim to captivate a broad audience, kindle a renewed reverence for the landscape, and inspire action for the climate and nature.
You can listen to the first two single from the project, Seeds of Love feat. Elle Osborne and Lady of the Forest by David Yeoman on all global platforms. More music to follow in 2026 and 2027 and the short film with the same name will be screened at film festivals and private events through out 2026/2027.
The album is released through my record label Muzica Without Frontiers and profits from this album go towards supporting the work of Forests Without Frontiers in Sussex, the NGO I’ve set up in 2019 with profits from my first album Be One.
