Hello fellow earthlings
I was born in the Northwest of England and I have lived here most of my life
I started playing the guitar at the age of 15 and moved quickly from acoustic to electric, forming my first band when I was 17. From 1986 until around 2000 I enjoyed performing in various bands and with many musicians.
After moving to Willenhall in 2001 for 12 months, I switched to keyboards as my main instrument, performing with a band all over the Midlands.
From 2003 on I rarely played any instrument and only in 2015-6 did I re-engage with music and composition. After building up a modest home studio, I now record there regularly. The songs written are simply a set of thoughts and ideas put together in musical form
There has never been an intention to create a set of similar genre tracks to glue together in an album
