About Me

...based in South London area. I just quit my pencil pushing, self loathing, "I know I'm destined for something greater than this" kiss ass every day job and am currently an official bum. While I'm desperatly searching for that 9-5 that won't slowly detroy my soul I keep myself (and sometimes my pocket) happy by singing, and thankfully I don't just mean to myself in the shower. From 80's pop classics to Happy Hardcore raver's paradise, I love live performance and have had a decent amount of session work in the past three years. At the moment just getting a few new projects on the go. Watch this space for new original rock band, DeMilo, fronted by yours truely. Other than that I really want to do some more travelling before maturity finally sets in and I decide it might be time I got a real life...until then we'll see were the music takes me!

My Interests

Singing, avoiding working, singing, good films, singing, good food, partying with friends, singing, travelling, singing...you get the picture.

I'd like to meet:

Actually I met them once and all I got was this stupid banner. Thanks guys.

Music:

I love all kinds of music from jazz to punk, from drum n bass to old school rock. Favorites include Incubus, System of a Down, Rage, Amy Winehouse, Bjork, Pendulum...I have to say though I have been fairly disappointed with the way the dnb scene has been heading recently. The rude boys seem to be ruling the roost...I remember the days when freeloving dread-head party people would way out number the hooded figures at any free party and even at raves but not anymore. Now I've had to say good bye to my glow stick days unless I'm there to sing it out, though I still love the tunes...

Movies:

The Dark Crystal, Legend, Willow, Ferngully anything featuring my magic fairy friends. Big fan of foriegn films Battle Royal is a classic, Old Boy, Visitor Q very bizarre, Switchblade Romance and 13 are some of my favs. All a bit gruesome.

Heroes:

Amoungst my long list of real heros is Skin from Skunk Anansie, Alanis Morisette, Amy Winehouse, Jim Morrison, Bjork, Jeff Buckley, Jimmi Hendrix, Eva Cassidy to name a few. There's about 101 singers and songwriters on my list. I'd love to have the chance to tell them what a huge influence they have been. I'd also of course impress them with my charm, wit and intelect and they would ask me to set up a support act and join them for the rest of their round the world tour, to which I would have to politley decline as I can't blow off EMI any longer.
