About Me

I'm a musician if you hadn't already guessed!I sing & play guitar, bass & synthesisers largely, amongst other oddities. I'm trying to learn how to play the drums at the minute - it's tough (I'm a bit of a weakling!).I'm working largely as a producer & programmer at the moment. There's some great bands around in Sheffield right now and I'm one of those lucky people who gets to tear a band apart and put them back again! (Sonically speaking, obviously). Also, I do bits of score for films & TV, sound design, foleying, etc. I guess you could say I just like sound, but music is my passion.I've been in a number of bands over the years (I've been playing/writing/recording since I was eight and now I'm in my mid-twenties) but after the rise and fall of my most recent project - Yamaguchi (the song currently playing, see above for details) - which disbanded just over a year ago I decided to take a year out. I needed a break from being in bands and I wanted time to think what to do with my next project.My year's break is over, and I'm itching to get back to it all again! Currently I'm concentrating on writing new stuff, & there's eight or nine songs that are in post production at the minute so watch this space...!
