Well, where do I start? I make music, and I love it. It's the biggest thing in my life, and I want to keep on making it. Simple as that. Where does it come from? The heart, soul,a load of really rough times, broken hearts, a LOT of moving around, getting stiched up, getting dumped, making mistakes, losing the most important people in your life, and gaining new ones. Being broke, being happy, being sad, drinking, smoking, having a laugh, chilling out, wanting to make a load of cash. Wanting to say hey I did it in spite of all the shit...

I started teaching myself the guitar 11 years ago at the age of 13, and I've been writing songs pretty much since then. I'm taking up the clarinet again, for a laugh, but it'll keep me sharp musically. I'd love to learn the sax too...who doesn't? I also compose and perform songs on the keyboard, and I just love the sound of a real piano - in particular the yamaha grand at Temple Studio in Germany!

I now have a 5 song EP available for download from this site, called A New Colour. I am under management, but am currently seeking the right record deal. Have a listen, let me know what you think, and tell your friends!
