About Me

(Layout provided by Mike Industries .)

Just some info about me. I was born in London in '87. Spent the first few years of my life growing up in Essex and in '94 my family moved to Malta, where I now consider home.Because of a desire to be a full time musician, or at least work in the music industry, (something pretty hard to do back home), I decided to move to London to study. Currently doing a BA(Hons) in Literature at University of Westminster, and studying Music Production at Point Blank Music School.In Malta, I am proud to say I was the rhythm guitarist in, MMA nominated and BMA winners, SALT. I co-wrote two of the songs on their debut album Hello Truth. Great musicians and even dearer friends. You can check them out at www.saltband.net. I also collaborated with R&B singer Jay Omaro on his hit single "My World", which I co-wrote with him. www.myspace.com/jayomaro.I'm always up for collaborating and working with other people, so if you ever want to meet up and throw ideas about just let me know. Hope you enjoy the music. Take care."you get to realise that the reason why most musicians get nowhere is they're not good enough. Dean Saviour, on the other hand, is plenty good enough." - Richard Ings (music promoter)
