“Lights in the Night Sky” is a gentle, atmospheric acoustic song for children Built around fingerstyle acoustic guitar and warm vocals. Inspired by Matariki, the Māori New Year, and the Matariki stars in New Zealand’s winter sky.

I wrote it about night time because as a child I was quite afraid of he dark and I wanted to make something comforting that showed that there isn’t anything to be afraid of.

“Duck” is the story of the fastest duck alive, with a driving beat, guitars, synths, and
plenty of quacking!

It’s a song I wrote for my beginner guitar students, designed to be fun, easy to play,
and easy to quack along to. After all, what could be an easier chorus to sing along to
than “Quack!”?

Like most of my songs, it involves quirky animal characters — this one being a turbocharged
duck with heat-shielding feathers and absolutely no respect for speed limits.
It’s also included as a song in my new Beginner Guitar Starter Kit, which is designed to
make learning fun and easy for beginners.

“Tuna” is a playful kids’ song that poses the age-old question: if a tuna is called the chicken of the sea, why isn’t the chicken called the tuna of the land? Add an atmospheric keyboard and a cool guitar riff, and you’re all set for some underwater fun

“Hop-a-potamus” is a fun kids’ song from Refractive Music Kids that tells the story of a hippo who’s also part kangaroo.

It’s an acoustic guitar-based track in a folk-rock style, inspired by the ’60s and is slightly psychedelic. In a tribute to the Beatles it features sitar and mellotron, and finishes with a guitar solo.

Hopping on the carpet, hopping on the chair,
If I wasn’t part hippo, there wouldn’t be mud everywhere.

Designed to inspire creativity and be fun for children and families, it’s also easy to learn to play on guitar.
