Just some info about me. I was born in London and spent the first few years of my life growing up in the UK until my family moved to Malta, where I now consider home.
Because of a desire to be a full time musician, or at least work in the music industry, (something pretty hard to do back home), I decided to move to London to study. Currently reading a BA(Hons) in Literature at University of Westminster, while using all my 'spare' time writing songs and trying to build myself a career in songwriting.
In Malta, I am proud to say I was the rhythm guitarist in, MMA nominated and BMA winners, SALT. I co-wrote two of the songs on their debut album Hello Truth. Great musicians and even dearer friends. You can check them out at www.saltband.net. I also collaborated with R&B singer Jay Omaro on his hit single "My World", which I co-wrote with him. www.myspace.com/jayomaro.
I am currently working with a few extremely talented songwriters and am always up for collaborating and working with other people, so if you ever want to meet up and throw ideas about just let me know. Hope you enjoy the music. Take care.
"you get to realise that the reason why most musicians get nowhere is they're not good enough. Dean Saviour, on the other hand, is plenty good enough."

I came back from adventures in north america after two months, and im feeling like itl be a good time to move to london at the end of next month. Im going to work full time but really want to do some serious songwriting and performing but importantly not on my own, i dont think im cut out for that, whereas with other band members id be so much more comfortable. Id love to play some full band versions of some of my songs, and write some new music. Let me know if you have any interest in this or have any ideas/suggestions! Hope everythings going well.
Ah id be honoured to be lined up next to your damien rice collection!
Thats cool youve got a busy summer lined up, good luck with all your projects. If I wasnt moving abroad id suggest collaborating on something because that would be fun. Ah well, one day yeah.
Myspace is funny about paypal now.. so i cant put a button up, instead there is a link on my page.. you should see it. Id love you to have one so get one through there if you use paypal. Itl be on itunes etc but will take up to a month.. Anyway, im looking forward to getting home today because my dad messaged me saying that the cd's have arrived and that they look good, so im excited!
Im ok and very excited that il finally get lots of boxes of my album this friday! .. if you could ever help me with that radio exposure you mentioned that would be great. Would love to send you a cd.
Otherwise nothings happening on the performance side as im doing the westcoast canada plan that i mentioned ages ago.. moving there for atleast a year. Will get into performance wen i find a cellist and pianist who want to play with me i reckon.
'Take me' is an amzing track also 'Hold me down' (I think its called). Your a brilliant songwriter. Would you be intrested in playing God only Knows acoustically for me?
I Finally took the time to listen and I have to say, your music ROXX!
