i was born by the river in a little tent. (not really. it was actually a hospital in london, so i suppose the river part is vaguely true.)
i've been making music for yonks now, beginning with some very dodgy piano lessons as a child (by the amount of piano you can hear in my songs, i think we both know how well those went). inspired by, and yet, completely unlike the spice girls (?), i taught myself the guitar at the age of 13, and i've been writing songs ever since.
i love the beach boys to a fairly worrying extent.
i perform live with my girl group, the racists. you have about a 9% chance of seeing us play, but i'm not promising anything. the racists are (in order of racistness):
kazumi hirota - former lead singer of massive cult japanese band, the shinonome orchestra
rebecca jade - formerly of science
and jen hatt
they are all freakishly talented musicians in their own right - check out their pages in my top friends list for proof :)
my new album, twelve appalling songs will be released in spring 2008, by god! a tall order if ever i heard one but i suppose anything is possible.
not content with this 'achievement', i am currently working on the 'legendary' 'difficult'* second album, the gilded palace of gin.
cheerio!

DISCLAIMER: if you genuinely enjoy my music, please feel free to add me! :) if i don't know you i would especially appreciate it if you sent a note with your request so i can see you're a person and not a spammer. and sorry but if you are someone with something to sell, or a death metal band etc with no obvious common interests, i will not accept your request.
*so difficult, i actually started it before the 'first'.
