I'm middle class trying to be street, walking the walk but keeping my mouth shut "I say, can I join your gang", I used to go by the name of deadbeat now I am called thinskin. I like losing myself in my thoughts but hate it when I can't find my way back. I like people who are honest and true and who know when to say "yep you where right".
I love bacon sandwiches on a Sunday morning and Xbox with my girlfriend.
I like it when I'm in credit (can't remeber when that was) but hate banks for everything that they stand for "yes Mr Harvey we can give you this money, we only ask in return IS YOUR MEASLEY SOUL"
I love making things with my hands and hate taking it apart again, but mistakes will happen.
I believe that customer service is the new Anti Christ.
I hate diets, especially the Z list celebrities who endorse them " here's how I had 8 children and still lost 15 lb along with my dignity".
I like coffee but think tea is better. I think I'm losing my hair but feel I'm gaining more head.
I love mountain boarding through the English countryside on a clear day but hate walking back up again.
I hate big business yet find myself craving for what they sell (unless its lady products, but then again).
I write music thanks to my musical family.
I love my family, friends and my girlfriend, and hope you enjoy listening to my music as much as I did writing it.
Recently Eddy Temple Morris featured three of my tracks on his XFM 'Remix' show and as a result, I got my first gig at the Coke / iTunes showcase, you can also check out my track "Game Over" on the fantastic compilation album UK: ONE. Download it NOW on iTunes....................................Photos below are taken from my recent gig at the Melt Dance Festival in Berlin
