About Me

About me.....In a nut shell, I got signed to a small indie Label a few years back. Got to travel back and fourth to the states loads , working with various writers. Then a lil bit of magic happened on the East Coast, clicked with a writer and producer called Tony Fennel and my debut album Night Racing the was born. I recorded it at Peter Gabriel's Real world studio in Bath with some amazing musicians, Tony Levin (Peter Gabriel), John Giblin (Kate Bush), Angie Pollock (Goldfrapp) etc. Then went off to L.A and mixed it with the Legend Bob Clearmountain....but after a bit of debate the label decided to re-record the whole thing sooooooo went to a lil studio in Kent, again worked with some great musicians, Karl Brazil (James Blunt) and Jamie Little on Drums to name but a few. Then Hugh Padgham (Sting) and Bob Ludwig (Everyobody!) mixed and mastered it and Bob's your uncle...(Oooops no pun intended!) we got what we wanted. After that, did a bunch of big posh showcases in New York, London and the like. Got to go on posh trip to Turkey and play on Atlantic records founder, Armet Ertigan's yatch (Nice!) and finally released the album out in Australia with the label Amphead last April along with a promo tour. Now I'm home and v.excited to be working on new material with some v.cool cat's and a new adventure is begining......so keep your eyes peeled, I'll be rockin the kasbar near you v.soon!!! *t* x x x x..
