Hey! I'm Mike, twenty something, musically promiscuous and unfortunately, yes I'm Ginger. I play Saxophones, Flute and Keyboards, specialising in all things groovy!
Having started to play at the age of 12 so that I could escape Maths lessons on a Tuesday, I Graduated from LIPA in 2005 with a first class honors degree. It was then that I went on to tour the planet with hundreds of different acts, teaching woodwinds on my days off.
Having thought about doing this for several years, and featuring on countless albums by other people, I have finally decided to take the plunge. Inspired by a recent journey through Africa and generally by having a quarter life crisis, I started writing late in 2008. Really what I wanted to achieve more than anything else was a document of where I am both musically and personally.
The result has been quite an eclectic one, featuring the talents of Jay Irving on drums and JJ Rio on electric bass augmented with guest musicians from every genre, and myself on keyboards and saxophones. The album "Ginger Tunes" is due to be released in early 2010 on an independant record label, and will be available on itunes and at performances.
