About Me

What can i say apart from. Music! music! music! can't live with it, can't live without it...I've taken some time out from music. I spent a few years working with different outfits, singing and writing on different 'projects' but still hadn't got round to finishing my own stuff...sound familiar?So i decided it's time to tie up some loose ends and get my album done!! So at the moment i'm just listening, watching, thinking, feeling, doing alittle something, doing alot of nothing in order to get some writing done.So what you will hear here are some of the loose ends and some of the 'projects' i've worked on.The tracks are in different states of finished and unfinishedness, they are here just to give and get an idea... the styles are mixed and varied just the way i like my music...sooo...
