I hate it when people say I sound like someone but thankfully it doesn,t happen too often. I suppose really it,s inevitable that we are all going to sound vaguely like someone due to the vast amount of music written and unheard.
I,m pretty varied in what I come up with and always try to start new songs with totally new approaches each time.
I,m a bit of a loner in my music really and like to try to play everything but soon that will all change. I hope to one day have a space to thrash out my stuff in total privacy and really get out there what I,ve been trying to for years.
The world of myspace has opened my mind a lot more. There are so many awsome characters out there playing some of the most amazing sounds. The collaboration factor is phenominal. Music can only ever move forward forever and ever with the advent of new instuments being invented and with more to come the permatations get even more mindboggling.

Long live the Peel.

Sounds Like
Experimental,quirky,ambient,progressive,meaty meaty lovely and beaty,bit of this a bit of that, and some wobbly noises.
I,ve played keyboards from the age of 8 and have written my own stuff since I was 13. I,ve always been adventurous and was over the moon when I found out about the digital revolution.
It suddenly allowed me to put together loads of tracks easily. A mish mash of crazy sounds and it completly took me over.
I have 3 children that take up a lot of my time but I wouldn,t give them up for anything. They inspire me so much and make me laugh and cry.
They are my everything.
Over the last few years I have been so impressed with the vast variety of styles and genres of music coming out from all of every country accross the globe.
I,m particularly loving the experimental side of things.
The merging of so many different sounds is just incredible and so interesting.
For the last couple of years I have been selling various things from my websites to try to fund my music, so if anyone wants to help they can.

In an ideal world I,d have my own studio in my own space but like countless millions I strive to make it happen.
Every spare penny I make on my online businesses goes towards helping my musical cause.
I like to think I can do it on my own but I know it takes a lot to support yourself so please buy something from my site, knowing it will be helping me to fulfil my dream. A big thank you to you all. .........................................................................................................
