Hi

About Me

I'm 34 years old. I play and teach guitar and studied at the Academy of Contemporary music in Guildford. I also studied radio and journalism and worked at the BBC's Pebble Mill studios in Birmingham. My goals this year are to build up the two bands I play in. I hope to do some work for Fiat and Maserati and also should be working for the EERC (one for the petrol heads). I have been a supporting artist (ok "extra") on many tv shows and even had lines in a couple of feature films. I marshal at Silverstone race course, and like to surf and skate. I've lived in Ghana and New York and recorded some demo's at the Knitting Factory (Jazz club in Manhattan). I used to work in IT, nuff said. I like to travel and meet new people and intend on getting around the world at some point soon. One of my best memories was walking down Broad Street in Birmingham with Steven Tyler from Aerosmith (one of my favourite bands)...
