Tolkien Project
I have enjoyed the beauty of Tolkien's writing and poetry since childhood. One day, while reading through the poem Where Now the Horse and the Rider? I took my guitar and wrote a simple melody to fit the words. Since then I have written many other songs to Tolkien's poetry and am slowly working on sharing them all.
Over ten years ago I started sharing a few of my songs on YouTube, including one of my most loved songs "Legolas's Song of the Sea". I have received so many encouraging comments and over 230,000 views on that song alone!
After a move, a renovation and having a baby, I finally feel I can begin focusing again on writing and recording my music in whatever spare time I can find! Even though I still only have a very small recording system, (one microphone!) I hope to produce the best quality recordings that I can, and continue developing my skills, while maintaining the emotion and passion of each song.
Feel free to view my videos below. The Road Goes Ever On and On, A Elbereth Gilthoniel, and The Fall of Gil-galad, are my most recent published pieces, and the others were recorded a number of years ago.
Please leave me a comment on YouTube. I love hearing from you!

NOTE: When I first recorded this song years ago I mispronounced the word "Dúnedain". I was finally able to correct the pronunciation, and would love to share it with everyone!
