About Me



I'm a creative, moody, mad, happy, sad, skinny geek, with glasses on a string.

I invent, i rant, i paint, i design websites, but mostly make music to express.

I released 2 E.P's in 2006 available for free at www.nickhopkin.com
The site's a bit pretentious at the mo, but i'm gonna get around to re-doing it real soon.

I've put some old songs on here to listen to until i have some new mad stuff...!

Add me as a friend, drop me a line to say hi or leave a comment.
