Influences
Lots of jumbled up music, a bit of pop, rock, soul, jazz, blues, gospel, Latin, acoustic, funk; whatever takes my fancy. Lyrically, I rely on personal experiences of my own, and my close friends and family.

I'm a singer-songwriter who likes to write in different styles. I try and write as broadly as I can, so I try to include influences from all the kinds of music I've come across.
I sing and play piano/keys, and I also dabble with guitar and drums. I'm about to record a full studio album with my fantastic band (see the members section on the left), which will display some of the original material I've been working on for the last couple of years.
I've worked with some fantastic musicians, and I'm gigging, both with a band and acoustically, so I've been writing a lot of acoustic guitar-based stuff too. My demo CDs; The Midnight Demo Sessions, Fire To The Sky, and Acoustic, are available on my website.
I also MD and play in an 8 piece covers band, including brass section, which has a repertoire of 4 hours material ranging from the 50s to the present day. If you want to book a party covers band, then please drop me a line!
I have a regular acoustic slot with a couple of friends every other week (see gig listings) at The Three Compasses in Farringdon, London, where we play covers and I play some originals.
Please check out the videos section on my profile as well - there's some live stuff in there.
I really appreciate all the comments and feedback I get, so please leave comments with your thoughts! Enjoy...
