About Me

hellotheboy is a friendly creature. generally a well behaved 32 year old singer/songwriter who tries not to make too much mess.

A few cover versions to give an idea of the sound that is hellotheboy. Original material to folow.
Track 1: Jelly - A cover version of the excellent flaming lips song. Not strickly a solo hellotheboy track. This song was recorded with the now defunct group decode
Track 2: Chelsea Girls - Cover version of the 1967 Nico song
Track 3: Story of Issac - Cover of the Leonard Cohen song from his 1969 Songs from a room album.

hellotheboy likes recording alone but also enjoys collaboration with other talented and not-so talented musicians. so if you are that way inclined and live in the london area... feel free to say hi...
