Bio
Quotes:.... "Haunted and Amazed" Jeff Buckley's Mother Mary Guibert.... 'Wow! Amazing sound…fantastic…!' - The Kooks.... "Amazing. Achingly tender, like newly grazed flesh" Eddy Temple Morris.... 'Billy's an Undiscovered genius' - Cosmic Rough Riders........ Personal Note:.... Hi and Welcome to my humble page of music ;) firstly i would like to say that ive gained immense pleasure from meeting some of the most Wonderful and Talented people on myspace from all styles of music all over the world this is something i would have never gained otherwise..... I am also overwhelmed by the positive comments people have written about my Music Which i value sincerely, for someone to take the time and listen to your music then give you feedback is more than anyone can expect and it's not something that inflates the Ego. .. .. My own approach to music is a continious development of listening and trying to form some kind of musical langauge that's stongly influenced by Great improvisers/composers too many to mention, i do believe that being aware of the many musical possibilities/styles and challenging yourself is a Healthy environment to learn within, and that learning is continuous. i try and refrain from being content with my Music, as i feel contentment can be a Deterrent to learning..... As my Music is not very fashion conscious it will probably never see the light of day in the more conventional forms of outlet ;) nothing wrong with hit singles it's the worlds daily aural diet and will continue to be as far as the eye can see, but it's comforting to know that theres more to music than this, were all unique from what our DNA tells us, with a willing for self expression... we all have the ability to harness our uniqueness in a way to express ourselves in any form we wish. .... One of my passions is Teaching Guitar which is why i started it as a business. Teaching students ranging from all Ages Styles/Ability, This involves Guitar Techniques as well as Songwriting which more importantly leads to Creating Music. ....
