About Me



I am a solo musician working mainly on the Korg M1 synth. In the last 18 months (Oct 2007 to Mar 2009) I have arranged over 24 songs using the superb lyrics of Phyl Wright. I have produced an album called "Songs of the Unexpected"
"Songs of The Unexpected" is a Digitally Distributed Release handled by ReverbNation. Release date was 31/Mar 2009 and can now be seen as products on Itunes, Napster, Amazon, Rhapsody, EMusic
