About Me

I play drums in a band called Stylus . Our second album 'GAIN CONTROL' came out on June 10 2006 and it kicks ass! Go buy it.

I also play drums in The Jamie Gray Band who has an EP coming out on Universal Music and a nationwide tour mid year.

I have a new project called 29 Blackbirds with some friends from 5 Star Fallout, Solstate and the now disbanded Tomorrowcomesinsilence. Visit our myspace for some demos and add us so we can let you know when we are gigging. I'm very excited about this band and you should be too!!

I'm always keen to jam with new people so hit me up if your looking for a drummer.

For a day job I am a Sound Engineer, Video Editor and DVD Author. I even once won a Tui for my engineering skills so if you need someone to work on your next hit record you can hit me up for that too.
