About Me

I am a musician and am currently studying music at the University of Huddersfield, which I enjoy very much. I'm in my first year and although i'm technically studying music and journalism, there should be no problem with me just doing music from next year. Journalism just isn't my thing. It's my aim to go into composing and/or performance work after my degree. I primarily write progressive metal music in the style of Opeth, but have recently started getting into more electronic/avant garde music. I love discovering new music, and try not to limit what I write or listen to in terms of genre, but myspace isn't the place for these words.Aside from music I like to spend time with my girlfriend, Elsa. We have been together for very nearly 3 years and I love her very much. I also have passions for Newcastle United, food (especially chicken), pool, winning at any form of competition, computer games and the X-files. I don't go out very much as i'm quite stingy with my money (strange for a student I know), but when I do I tend to enjoy it greatly, quality not quantity my friends. I frequent the Angel and the Snooker club when i'm Durham, and Camel in Huddersfield.
