About Me

Hi, I'm a western Visual Kei musician.

I strongly believe in ripping down the devide between cultures and I hope to contribute to an an embodiment of said ideology. Being caucasion, born and raised in the UK and influenced since a young age by western music I strive to combine the measures of Eastern and Western culture together into one - combining visual kei aesthetics with cosmopolitin sounds.

I would like to meet other singers, musicians and people who will help me realise this dream, you should also check out "Machina Shogunate", a band I am currently centering my activities in which was created persue the same ideals.
