About Me

____________________________________________________________ __ I’m a songwriter and a rock voice in waiting everybody - I sing, I play acoustic and electric guitar and I play harmonica. I started as song writer, then singer of rock band The Myth, then I learnt guitar and played solo. As I got more into it I moved from my Herefordshire countryside born & bred roots to Liverpool and busked, formed blues band and hosted song nights round the city, aside from a diploma in the Liverpool institute of Performing Arts. I thought to develop as an artist I would have to do something a bit special so once I heard about the Artist Development Programme at the British Academy of New Music, I sent off my application and passed the audition and now live & work in the metropolis of London. “Green shoots” abound out my artistic recession experienced upon the first few uncomfortable months in the towering capital – I am going digital and non-country Akoustic vibe. Please e-mail or message me on [email protected] if you wish to collaborate, have lyrics, a singer, a backing vocalist, a harmonica player, a guitarist!
