Originally from London.
Did the classical stuff first.Jazz afterwards.Third year Trance/Prog House Producer.
I have played a variety of instruments proffessionally including drums with legendary punks "Chelsea".
I have also had voice tuition from the late Glynne Thomas (covent garden)
I was counselled by Sir William Matthias on my compositional skills .
I studied jazz with Michel Bastet for 3 years at the Jazz Conservatoire in Geneva,having previously attended the Leeds College of Music,studying trumpet with Dickie Hawdon(johnny Dankworth) ,piano,Brian Leyton and Tony Faulkner,drums(yeah!) .
I continued my love affair with black music,learning first the Funk, with Luddy Samms in London , and then working as Musical Director with Otis Grand .
I moved to France intending to make a career as a jazz trumpet / Singer in Paris.Unfortunately i met a girl .....Sooooo, i ended up in Annecy in the Haute-Savoie .
Roundabout this time i got my first computer,an Atari with Cubase LOL!!!!!
Time passed and i got married,had a kid called Curtis.
Finally i decided to go into music production full-time and spent the next 3 years on a cd project of my own fledgling songs.Sorta House R,N, B.
During this period i discovered Techno , House and , finally Trance.
After recovering from a rare form of blood cancer (Waldenstroms Macroglobulaenemia ) ,i got divorced.
Wanting to become a DJ didn,t go down too well heh heh .
So ,that brings me to the present day.With the continuous devpt of computer technology,i put together a new home studio ,just to make Trance and ProgHouse.
So there it is.I,m now into my third year of study .Time to send out Demos .Favourite classical piece at the moment_ The SEA by Frank Bridge
Favourite Jazz _Shirley Horn ,little jimmy smith>
