I was born in Kent, South East England on March 23rd 1984. I picked up the acoustic guitar at the age of 14 and then the electric at 16. Two years later I had my first gig in London and then my first big show supporting “The Damned”. Following that I had my debut appearance in Total Guitar magazine and went on to play hundreds of gigs across the UK.
Soon enough I was touring Europe as a hired gun. It was here that I gained more endorsements along with a good level of exposure outside of England. I was playing anything from punk to a tour supporting a black metal album.
Currently I'm involved in projects that have an atmospheric/soundtrack quality. Aside from that I’ve returned to my first love, the blues. I look forward to what gets thrown at me next and welcome any projects that come my way.
