I've been making music since I was 15, my parents exposed me to a lot of music as a kid and my Dad used to sing and play guitar to me so it was kind of inevitable that I would pick it up one day. I played in bands at school and in the 90's I fronted a local rock band for a few years and had a really good time, made a few demos, played a lot of gigs and got a pretty good reputation locally but nothing more than that. Eventually we split citing musical differences (so cliche I know). I'd started doing some solo acoustic gigs along side the band but, musically my tastes were broadening a little, I started getting into Electronica; Bjork, Chicane etc. so I built a little studio where I started messing around with that kind of stuff, I ended up with an album called Broken. I never sent the CD to anyone except friends and family, I've always been terrible at self promotion and there's always the thought that there's a better song around the corner. I began to feel that I was straying too far from the guitar so I reined in a lot of the electronic elements and my writing is now very acoustic oriented again (that last statement may be a lie), I seem to have come full circle and at last hopefully finding a sound that is me.

OI U! :p I would add stuff but this myspace is shite! :P I only signed up to send you a message. so I won't be populating my page. I have enough crap on the net lol.
But your page does look better than most! You must have mastered the unusable interface this thing has.
Well that's definitely a different direction. I knew things would change when I took you to those nightclubs in nottingham all those years ago. I'm actually diggin the groove. Can you say 'versatile'!!?
I on the other hand am not moving on, I just was asked to learn the intro from Van Halen's 'Take you whisky home' hmm
L.A. what's cookin'? Let's do another roadtrip around the usa in another convertible. this time and old Chrysler and in california or west coast. Any new songs??
