About Me

Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com / Dragonfly and swirls

.......................... I have been playing hand drums and percussion for 14 years. Beginning as a freestyler i played with various musicians in Somerset area, including Pond Life and the talented guitarist Glynn Harris. At around that time i bought myself a drum kit and proceeded to learn at home, playing to favourite CDs - mostly afro-beat. Next was a recording project with Neil Holt and Matt Fellows which is referred to as the Jay, Matt and Jaia project, for which i was the drummer and backing vocalist. Next Matt and I embarked on an offshoot project with some other local musicians, before joining Peace by Piece as a percussionist. I’ve done occasional guest appearances with various artists usually playing djembe before joining Car Boot Soul who i played with for a couple of years as drummer/percussionist.Kufamba (Jay’s project) have done a few recordings with me on drums. I did some percussion and singing with Glass Roots, the name i gave to a folk duo with David Unwin (www.myspace.com/franticfolk) which produced Dragonfly, which we co-wrote, plus a few other songs. I am currently recording an album comprising songs i have written over the last year or so, this project promises to be the best musical project of my life so far. .........................

Tokoloshi (unfinished) was written by Jay, recorded at Bridies Studio. 7 Sisters bass, electric guitar by Jay, drum program Matt Fellows, tweaked by Jaia and recorded and mixed by Jay on an Amstrad cassette 4track studio.
