Alreet!?!? Where do I start? Basically I was born in the Bahamas to British parents. We lived there for 6 years but decided to move back to the UK (don't know what the folks were thinking!?). I still have family out there and visit when I can (free holiday!) Growing up I didnt really know what I wanted to do but it was always an ambition of mine to travel the world but also music was a passion of mine from a young age as I found it very therapeutic. I started having guitar lessons when I was 11. After 5 lessons I hated playing (didnt help that my teacher was a wanker!!!) so I gave up, put the guitar in the loft and never wanted to pick it up again. However when I got in to Nirvana 3 years later I picked it up again and decided to teach myself so the rest is history!
I went to Brighton Uni and completed my Certificate in Education which meant I could teach. I did that for a while, taught some amazing people but often found that teachers are underpaid and undervalued (by the institution!!) I then decided to embark on a trip of a lifetime and went round the world for a year and a half. I only started singing when I went travelling, all those nights on the beach by the camp fire I would play guitar and get talked into singing. I only started to take my writing seriously when I got back. After 7 months of being home I got itchy feet again and went travelling around Europe. When I came back I enrolled at the Brighton Institute of Modern Music and realised how music would be what would end my wanderlust ……… ; )
In summer 07 I went on a fantastic tour of Ireland and Scotland. When in Limerick I was given the opportunity of recording “Stars Are Made For The Sky” with Moya Brennan who was the lead singer for the Grammy award winning group Clannad. There was also a concert in the local Abbey which had RTE the national television station present. The C.D “Sanctuary” will be released on the 2nd of June 08.
"Great voice!” - Mark Knopfler
"His music depicts a poetic feel with clever lyrics which are often ambiguous in meaning, leaving the listener to draw their own interpretation of the song!" - Live Listings Magazine
"…… such a distinctive voice!" - Bright 106.4
