only got a brief biography for me folks!! there's only me in my band :o)i have been a professional gigging singer since the age of 16, i am 38 now!! oh god! I come from the north of England originally, a little mill town called BURNLEY!!!!! I started my singing career up there working in various original and cover bands! I moved to the south about 16 years ago!!!I have done loads of stuff over all the years, however most of my releases and successes have with dance music in the late 90s early 00s! Had 3 top 40s with a dance band from Scotland. worked for a few producers around London and Europe and had many releases with smaller independant record labels. had a few bits of success in Japan and America with this stuff too. so i got to tour there yeah!!!! Managed to do quite a few backing vocal gigs etc done loads of nice corporate gigs aswell, loads of royalty functions!!I was in an act called Abbacadabra signed to Almighty Records. we did hard core dance versions of wait for it, you guessed, Abba songs. Had a great 5 years with this, toured all around the world, did all the major pride concerts etc. did all the G.A.Y gigs. we had a fantastic time!!!I no longer dabble with dance music, i prefer rock/country/blues/folk music these days and thats what i tend to focus on when writing.I have done a few support tours, singing covers and my songs with just an acoustic guitar.so thats me!!! :O)Watch this space hopefully it is all not over yet! And i got more exciting things to do with my songs.
