About Me

Myspace Editor
Pimp MySpace
OK, well music has been my life since I can remember. I play guitar, Piano, drums bass and anything I can get a tune out of. I've been in a few bands, the first called Marla Singer (www.myspace.com/marlasingeruk)we self released an E.P, toured with Captain and did some good London gigs. Then I joined a band called the On Offs(www.myspace.com/theonoffs) and toured with The Zutons, The Ordinary boys, Paul Weller and did a 1 off gig over in Barcelona. And just recently I have been playing for a band called the Rakes(www.myspace.com/therakes) playing Guitar and Keys. So far with them I have toured Europe for a month, played on The Digital Music Awards on Channel 4, played to a sold out Alexandrea Palace with Bloc Party and more recently I was lucky enough to get an Australian tour on the Australian V festival with one of my favorite bands "Queens of The Stone Age" which traveled through Sydney, Perth, Melbourne, Brisbane and The Gold Coast....was amazing! I've recently just been out to Russia and played a gig in the centre of Moscow which was really cool . This summer I'm going to Milan, Portugal, Bangkok and France to play festival gigs and then to a secret location to record a 3rd album with them. I'm also working on a project called The Moons (top friends) with Andy Crofts who I used to play with in The On Offs, he is playing for Paul Weller at the moment.....check out The Moons in my Friends. As well as playing I love listening to music and will try anything... Theres loads more I could write but if your interested then you'll ask I guess!
