Making a noise in the studio!

About Me

I am a British singer/songwriter and composer now living and making a noise in Los Angeles. I am married to a wonderful local girl who amazes and inspires me each and every day that I get to open my eyes. My family and friends are the very backbone of my existence, I could not survive without them and I cherish every moment I spend with these wonderful and varied group of individuals..you know who you are!!
I make my living from Music, a dream I held dear from childhood when I watched my Dad and Grandfather play, compose and conduct their way around the World...I am lucky to be walking in their footsteps.
I am a signed writer with music publishers Peer Music, here in LA, and have been writing with some wonderful new artists recently including the amazing Candace Jones, Xolie Morra, Kandace Ferrel and Lelia Broussard along with recently signed artists at Atlantic, Universal and Capitol Records.
My songs have featured in a number of shows including "One Tree Hill", "Cold Case", "Third Watch", "The Closer", "Joan Of Arcadia" and a number of TV and radio commercials too.
And for those "One Tree Hill" fans, here is that scene that my song "Will You Be There" plays in..enjoy!!I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
