Chelsea was inspired by an adoration for Joni Mitchell. As a pure artist she has few rivals. Her true artistry has touched the lives of so many with her eclectic style, deep lyrics and haunting voice. 

Joni has inspired me, entertained me, taught me and uplifted me throughout my musical life. I use her as a yardstick lyrically. It prevents me from churning out meaningless lyric.

Thinking about her trials and tribulations I started to pen a song about her. I quickly departed from Joni as the subject and instead, created a fictional character loosely based around thoughts of Joni and her colourful and often tragic story. 

Using Joni as my inspiration, Chelsea (named after Chelsea Morning - Joni Mitchell) is a female artist who after giving up her newborn starts on her journey, whilst carrying around the pain of forgoing motherhood for her artistry. Over the three verse the story depicts a mixed story of success and failure. 

"Chelsea" features the guitars of Brett Wood, organ by Casper Tromp and a beautifully performed piano part by Charmaine Ford. Mitch Farmer on drums and yours truly, Jeff Camilleri on bass, vocals and acoustic guitars.
