About Me

I am based in Bristol and signed to Invada Records UK as a solo artist.... I am also the singer with G O N G A (gonga.co.uk). My debut solo album 'Derwent Waters Saint' was produced by Adrian Utley (Portishead) and is out now in the UK...

The tracks 'The Sun Also Rises' and 'Thaumaturgist' are taken from the record.... The other track is a cover of 'Wicked Game', recorded live on a Bristol radio station at some point in the last years. The other other track is a demo from my next solo misery assault.
I put on nights in Bristol called 'Happenings and Killings' which is in my top8 below. I write music for documentaries and short films, my most recent commission was for a National Geographic documentary on Cryogenic Suspension. I am a vocalist with the band 'Crippled Black Phoenix'.... Our debut album is out now and our next two albums are being released at the same time in the early summer.
My next solo album will be out later on in 2008/9/10. I am recording the demo's at the moment in a small room in Mivart Street studio's in Easton.
You can buy my current album from Invada or Amazon or iTunes.
I also work with my friends Lou and Ellen, and together we are this.
