This is my little corner of the internet where the real stuff lives completely on my own terms.
No polished, algorithm-friendly version; the actual creative process, as it happens, shared directly with the people who make it possible.

What is Team Bestel?

Team Bestel is part fan community, part ongoing crowdfund, part creative diary. It’s a continual dream of mine to cultivate a community of likeminded people who enjoy some arty blobs from a baritone uke wielding hobbit – and this is it!

Since it’s inception Team Bestel have helped fund and tour Transience, brought Utopia into the world, and are currently helping make my third studio album reverence a reality. In return, I share everything with you first; new songs, half baked ideas, and the behind the scenes reality of making music without a label.

What’s in it for you?

Everything that happens creatively, you’ll see before anyone else. I share exclusive parts of my creative activities with you all on this website via live sessions, hidden videos, poems, art, photos, and blogs, which means you’ll get my news before everyone else direct to your inbox and the opportunity to chat with me and all the other Team Bestelians in our private forum.

You’ll get:

• News, releases, and previews before the rest of the world
• Exclusive live sessions, hidden videos, and behind the scenes content
• Poems, personal blogs, art, and photos from my creative life
• Digital downloads of all my past, present, and future music (including covers)
• Access to a growing library of exclusive video content
• Pre-order access and discounts on merch & gig tickets
• The occasional giveaway
• A say in creative decisions
• Your name in YouTube descriptions and all future album artwork
• Access to the *new* Team Bestel forum called HIVE: our own private space, away from social media, where the community actually lives
• An official Team Bestel badge, made with love and worn with pride (a new one is on the way)

Supporting me means more videos, more collaborations, and more opportunities to see me play live. For the price of a nice magazine and/or a coffee I get to give you the art directly from me, the way I created it, when I create it, and knowing that you made it possible.
