Artist Bio

Influences:   Usually I'd cite folk singer songwriters (Sandy Denny, Roy Harper, Nick Drake) as my influences, but as I have been listening to a lot of jazz (Ella and old time trad jazz) and motown lately I'd like to try and write something that swings or is a bit funky! Who knows what will happen! I haven't played much or written any songs for a while so I'm really excited about February!

I did FAWM in 2017 and wrote 13 songs, loved it but have not been able to participate again until last year when I wrote two songs, one for a skirmish, and did a collaboration . I play several instruments to one degree or another but have not layered them up much before. I have invested in a couple of mic stands, a condenser mic and a new version of cubase and am looking forward to the challenges and skirmishes.

    I'm glad you got a couple songs in this year. Hope it was a good month for you. I would love to have you visit my page and listen to a few of mine. I made it to 11. Take care and I hope we can connect again.

    Some post-FAWM collabs? I feel flattered! That would be great! :-) I would really be very happy about it!

  • @arthurrossi Feb 2022

    I dropped by here again because I wanted to tell you that I have been listening to your song many times today, and I absolutely LOVE it! I do not know what it exactly is, something in your beautiful voice or the amazing melody (or probably both) that makes it very, very special... Thank you so much!

    Hi there :) Thank you for your kind comment on my Ice Cream lyric. I am happy for you to musicate it, but only for FAWM. Also, not on Bandcamp at this stage. I see you have a SoundCloud link, that would be ok. If I could email you I could explain before you work on anything that would be good please, as we could discuss editing and working on it together etc :)

    Hey! I would like to thank you soooooo much for the wonderful song that you created for "Darling, please call me back", it is absolutely gorgeous! I LOVE the melody, your guitar play is mesmerizing and your voice is so amazing! The harmonies/layered vocals are the icing on the cake... I am very, VERY happy how this song turned out and also thank you so much for sending me the file... I am in love with this song, downloaded it and keep listening to it again and again..
    By the way, I have already added you as collaborator, but, please, feel free to re-post the demo if you prefer... Thank you so much for all...

    Hi Didi! Thanks a lot for letting me know about "Darling, please, call me back"! I am very excited to hear it... If we are lucky, we might even find a male and a female voice so it could become a real duet until the end of this FAWM... that would be fantastic! I am looking very forward to the song you created here...

    Hey Didi, sorry to hear things aren’t going to plan - I’ve written one song so far (week 1 challenge - body part!) and the one I worked on with my songwriting partner is the Fawmvision challenge. I’ve been quite busy with work though. Maybe you could take on the week 1 challenge? If you want a chat I’m around tomorrow after 11.30 xx

  • @winchperry  Feb 2022

    Didi, hi! I just wanted to remind you that we connected last Fawm and I still think about your song Sand Castles! I listened to it again on your soundcloud and it just puts me in a great headspace. I can't think to say it any other way. Did you ever work on it any more? If not, would you be up for a collab? - Christine in Philadelphia US

  • @littley1974 Feb 2022

    Hey Didi - how are you getting on with FAWM? x

  • @musicsongwriter Feb 2022

    Thank you Didi for your kind comment.

    Hey, I sent you a message on Instagram.

  • @spirulence Jan 2022

    Happy FAWMing! Let me know if you'd be interested in a possible collab - there's a challenge to find a twinsies avatar and write a song with them this year - https://fawm.org/forums/topic/12255/

    Welcome back to FAWM!

  • @littley1974 Jan 2022

    Hi Didi!
    So it turns out I also signed up in 2017 but didn't start the challenge let alone complete it! Lost my songwriting mojo a bit over the last few months but have been working with a friend, Simon who I met up with yesterday and he's going to sign up too. So let's see how it goes! xx

  • @sailingmagpie  Jan 2022

    Hey, if you message me your email, I'll send you over a download link.

  • @sailingmagpie  Jan 2022

    Hope to see you back this year
