From Bagel Shop to Shoreditch House I prowl.

About Me

Hackney born and bred. Former singer/songwriter with LEYTON BUZZARDS and MODERN ROMANCE. Remember 'SATURDAY NIGHT BENEATH THE PLASTIC PALM TREES' and 'EVERYBODY SALSA'? Check out the video on the right if only to mock my attire. And don't forget the gayest anthem ever written by a straight man 'YOU THINK YOU'RE A MAN' (which I wrote with Keith Miller) by my favourite tranny, the late, great DIVINE. Then there's 'BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES' which was in SHREK. The vocalist on 'MY MOTHER'S ARMS' which I wrote and produced with Paul Gendler as part of the SKINNYBITCH PROJECT, is a wondrous French chanteuse named Caroline Nin.Have also written for THE FACE and ARENA and spent an enjoyable few years as a restaurant critic for the latter. Food, along with music, film and high quality hair products remains a passion. I once wrote a book with RONNIE BIGGS after bumping into him in a bar in Rio. But that's another story.Have written TV shows such as 'BIRDS OF A FEATHER' and 'A MANY SPLINTERED THING'. Also a couple of films. 'KINKY BOOTS' and 'IT'S A BOY GIRL THING'. Currently writing two more movies for ROCKET an excellent film co owned by ELTON JOHN and DAVID FURNISH and a TV pilot for Martin Kemp.At heart I'm a fan and an enthusiast. Which is what keeps the engine running. That and the fact that I have the attention span of a gnat with ADHD. And coming from Hackney I don't have a trust fund. Am divorced with 3 super cool kids. Woody, Nell and OT who are the wind beneath my wings and then some.It may not have been a perfect life but it's managed to hold my interest. And that's all I have to say about that.
