About Me

It's been nearly ten years since I arrived in London with a suitcase and a few crazy ambitions from Santander, Spain. Many years of weird and wonderful (at times) experiences and many things learned and lost along the way. I was the lead singer for almost three years in a London band called Red Maria. We were slightly successful but we are together no more. This is now my first solo project. I have written and recorded eleven tracks at my home studio with valuable help from my Scottish friend Gavin Monaghan (former guitarist in Red maria). I'll be trying hard during the next few months to have it released. At the moment here's four tracks. I hope you enjoy them. Please keep in touch (and spread the "Holy Word") if this music's your "cup of tea". I'm also gathering a band to play the new songs live, which should be far more fun than recording them in my room. I'll keep you informed. Oh, and thanks for listening.
