It's all about Musicology....

About Me



Well, my name's Del, aged 32, a musician, singer, and songwriter from Blackheath in London (If you don't know it you're not missing anything!). I play keyboards, drums, percussion, and I'm currently playing for a gospel choir in the East End. I'm also part of a collective of very talented individuals called Platinum Mind Productions. It's the first link on my top friends. That's me playing piano and I wrote those tunes... With a lil help...I'm into all kinds of music, ranging from gospel to rock, blues to soul, very eclectic mix. Among my equipment list I have a MOTIF ES7, a Korg Triton Extreme (88 keys, weighted, no less, first delivered in the UK. I'm not one to brag of course...) and an iPod. These are my weapons of choice. I am currently writing new songs for an album, featuring good friends entitled "Firstborn", if you want to know more just subscribe to my blog. I will write more in the future on my blurb but if you want to know more just drop me a note!

My Interests

Reading, writing songs, listening to music, cinema, eating out (Anyone out there like Nando's????), meeting new and interesting people.
..

I'd like to meet:

Anyone with a passion for the arts, anyone who lives in London and enjoy having jam sessions, or going to the theatre, concerts and suchlike. Or anyone who just wants to chat!!! :) Drop me a note and say hi.
