For funk, hip hop, alternative, soft rock and jazz, margot du bois, rapster and numerous collab partners, the main ones being Tom King and The Ratman...
Ive been an online singer since 1999/2000. I first encountered online collaboration via Steinbergs "Rocketnetwork" which came free with Cubase back in those days.. I was totally awestruck by the fact that I could make music with people worldwide who Id never met personally before. Since those days Ive written and sung countless, completed songs and always have many others in various stages of completion. As you can see by the list I have dozens of collab partners, some of whom have become very close and dear friends in real life. Infact the first persons song I ever sang on was by Steve Pearce, who is now sadly deceased. He became one of my dearest friends and through him I met and became very close friends with the late Clint Warwick, who was the original bass player with the Moody Blues and Danny King who was one of the founder members of that band. Some of the people that I made music with in the past on and off line:- ..My dear friend, the late Clint Warwick, also Danny King and... steve pearce... sheck... lennie... bigmoon... bop... timmymacdd... jack miller... mixmaster mark... tfolie... jako2k... zauberflute... music1961...

(Those people were all members of the now defunct "Rocketnetwork", "The Rocketears"...... More recent people are,:- Teecee... ZIGGma... Steve Dinsmoor... Dirt Settlers... D Form... Lil Drizzy...

Aimlessjazz... vvsdesign/Volker...TNuT...Frank Northcutt...Uberthrall... last, but always first... My wonderful partner in love, life AND music, JOEY/Joe Nickerson/RAPSTER/Nicky Quick... Because the list is long its possible I may have forgotten to mention someone here, so if I have please give me a nod and Ill fix that.. Im so very thankful to everyone whos made their music freely available to me, to the many whove written and created pieces especially for me and to those whove helped me along the way, believe me there have been so many...Thankyou to all of them.. I NEVER try to sound like anyone else when I sing, always prefering what comes naturally to me. I rarely if ever sing other peoples lyrics as I can only feel what I personally feel, thats not to say I dont appreciate what other songwriters write, I love reading their lyrics and listening to their songs, those are their feelings..:-) My lyrics are generally minimal. I dont feel I need to write a book when I can say it in a sentence..:-) Im very happy to be uniquely and uncontrollably me..:-)

Story behind the song
Many of my friends have noticed how affected I am by the problems in the world at the moment and have said that they can`t watch the news anymore.. I`ve tried not doing that, but for me, it`s impossible to "look the other way"
Lyrics
The Flood I cannot bury my head in the sand... I live in the real world... Not some fantasy land... I`m in a world where dog eats dog... I`m in a world where god fights god... I`m in a world where god fights god... I cannot unsee the things that I`ve seen... A flood of humanity... In a world that`s growing mean... We`re in a world where black is white... We`re in a world where nothing seems right... Where nothing is quite right... Nothing seems right... We`re in a world where nothing is right... Nothing is right... I cannot unsee the things that I have seen... A river of humanity... in a world that`s so obscene... We`re in a world where black is white... We`re in a world where nothing is right... Where nothing seems quite right... Where nothing is right... We`re in a world where nothing is right... .............................................
