Composing hi-fi symphonies from within his humble abode, the Welsh-born songwriter is ready to share the fruits of his labour with debut album \u003cem\u003eSun Outside My Window\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA timeless vista of ethereal balladry looking towards 19th Century musical maestros and works of art, it brings new meaning to the term ‘Modern Classic’ and is the most optimistic of lockdown records yet. A one-man impressionist, painting majestic soundscapes, \u003cstrong\u003eStrawberry Guy\u003c\/strong\u003e blends truthful lyrics with lush arrangements to conjure new emotive worlds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInspired by composers of the Romantic period, or Debussy, Ravel, and other classical artists of the 1800s, his wonderland moves like a Monet painting where arpeggios dance between meadows of dazzling dynamics and dramatic key changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs former keyboard player of \u003cem\u003eThe Orielles\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eTrudy and The Romance\u003c\/em\u003e, the light through his floor to ceiling windows has caused a dramatic Greenhouse Effect and now ripening on solo terms, his innocent uploads of ‘\u003cem\u003eWithout You\u003c\/em\u003e’ and ‘\u003cem\u003eF-Song\u003c\/em\u003e’ comfort 2 million Spotify listeners a month.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e‘\u003cem\u003eMrs Magic\u003c\/em\u003e’ has received 40 million streams, landing at #13 in its chart and countless fan-created videos have appeared on YouTube. Imitating nature’s effect on emotion, like 70s songwriters, or the fantastical soundtracks accompanying vibrant scenes in the Japanese animated Studio Ghibli films and video games, landscape is brought to the fore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMonet’s picturesque Meadow at Giverny features as the album’s accompanying artwork – perhaps a reminder of the rural Welsh countryside views through his childhood home’s window.
