The lovely Christabel had a regular gig at my restaurant in South Goa for one season and she was a delight! The audience love her, she has a great rapport with them, and she sings like an angel. Her choice of songs is always perfect for the occasion and we would definitely welcome her back!

Christabel (Bella) first came to Barefoot Resort in 2012. Although she was hired as a singer, it quickly became apparent that she is not only multi-talented but also has vast reserves of energy, which made her perfect for our resort. In no time at all, Bella devised multiple avenues of engagement with our guests and she began teaching children to hula hoop and also conducted craft classes and offered bespoke voice training classes as well. The fact that she has a naturally gregarious personality meant that, off duty hours, her very presence for any length of time in the common areas of the resort was itself a boon as many guests were drawn towards her for conversation. It would be wrong to classify Bella as just a guitarist or singer, as she brings much more to the table. Even labeling her as an Entertainer doesn’t go far enough, as she does much more than that. Over her 3 stints with Barefoot (the last being between 2018-2020), she also began to teach our guests Yoga and conduct Nature Walks (having researched and designed the first “Endemic Trees of Barefoot” book). She was also happy to get involved with special events, for example, she put together a variety show using some of our resort guests and staff over New Year’s Eve 2019-20. Bella has a big voice, one that really reaches out and grabs your attention. And she has a big personality to match it. She makes each song her own, unafraid to change the tempo or tweak the tune to suit her style. If you give Bella the space to perform and the freedom to be herself, she rewards you with passion and commitment. Bella is always welcome at Barefoot.

Here at the Pizza Garden, we have had the best evenings singing and dancing along to Christabel’s live music for many nights and most notably on New Year’s Eve ’24. Not only does she have an amazing voice but she also takes requests and is able to play to the specific clientele and ambience of the evening. Her ability to play a broad range of genres and songs make her a great musician and I genuinely think she can play any and every song on demand! I can’t wait to go see her play again; she is a pleasure to have at the Pizza Garden.

All endeavours aside, a musician is finally identified by their personal expression. Here you can listen to music made by me, in collaboration with other artists in some cases (credits in footnotes) Although my older songs have traditionally romantic themes, the ones here are introspective and philosophical tributes to Nature, to whom I am devoted. The audio clips below are rough recordings with zero production and you can read the lyrics to each song by cllicking to expand - enjoy!
