My debut album is being released in 2021. It was recorded in London and Berlin. Matt Ingram from Urchin studios (The Staves, Laura Marling) is on drums. The album has been mixed with Jimmy Robertson and mastered by Christian Wright at Abbey Road.

Several guests feature on the record. Steve Webster from Higamos Hogamos has helped with the production vibe and added tambourine, filtering and effects. The songs ‘Roses of the Full Moon’ and ‘Decadent Heart’ feature Icelandic virtuoso Daníel Böðvarsson on electric guitar and Amelie Hinrichsen on her self-designed PushPull instrument. Multi-instrumentalist Alex Ward (Dead Days Beyond Help) digs deep for some rock n’ roll saxophone on ‘Steve Jobs Song’ and title track ‘Natural Born Actor’. Bah Kane Seck from Senegal, conga player with Baaba Maal and owner of Jeri Jeri studios, plays congas on ‘Fearless’ and ‘Perfect Guy’. Jazz trumpeter Ben Harrison takes a bow on ‘Black Water‘. Mizo Gamal from Egyptian jazz band El Dor El Awal plays congas on ‘Wings’, which features Sean Phillips (Private Agenda) on backing vocals and Whetham Allpress (Higamos Hogamos) on hi-hat. Tom Rogerson (Three Trapped Tigers) adds a touch of Moog synthesizer on ‘The Gift’.
