BIO:
I've been playing guitar for about 13 years now, and only just decided to go solo recently. I'll gig till I die, so watch out for me on the London circuit, where I will be playing frenzied and engaging live shows.
My sound didn't take a lot of thought, other than the decision to sing in my own accent, rather than an American emo-boy. I just play rock without the rhythm section. I hit the strings just as hard as I would if I were competing with a full band. Except it's not a band I need to fight, it's my own voice, which I recently discovered, can be VERY loud when I want it to be. My songs are about a mixture of things - interesting people I know, interesting women I know, places I've been, nights I've barely remembered ... but all are delivered with the same passion and commitment I put into everything I play. Plus, you'll be idly humming the chorus for the next two weeks.
My influences are U2, Foo Fighters, Bon Jovi, Battle, Razorlight - amongst thouands of others. Bit of a motley crew really, but my music isn't part of any particular scene or fad, just as none of the above bands truly are. Great songs, passionately delivered, will never go out of fashion.
