Ei8ht

Mature pop songwriting. Polished, melodically dense, and trading 80s neon for warm acoustic textures and reflective, intelligent lyricism.

It's Nik Kershaw with all the 80s songwriting genius but none of the 80s cheese.

A sophisticated and gentle reflection on maturity, blending melodic optimism with a touch of weary wisdom.

The Sky’s the Limit (radio version)

Moments Worth Waiting For

The intricate acoustic guitar picking that opens These Tears setting a surprisingly grounded tone.

The soaring, radio-ready chorus of The Sky's the Limit that recalls his 80s melodic peak with modern polish.

The subtle, jazz-inflected chord changes in Red Strand that reveal his deep harmonic sophistication.
