About Me

Im Arj and i live in the Avalon Babylon, which be Glastonbury. Music is my life. I love to play and listen to all sorts. I play the drums and that goes for any kinda drum i can get my hands on like indian and african drums, coz you gotta connect wiv the roots, naa mean. Heavily influenced by the likes of Chick Corea, Billy Cobham, Herbie Hancock, Stanley Clarke, but id say George Harrison and Gerry Rafferty have made the biggest impact on me. Another major influence is Craig Marsh, who is an all round amazing musician. I met Craig when i joined my first band at the age of 15 and have been jammin and gigging with him and other bands, gaining valuable experience. For a few years, ive been part of Bunker Productions, writing hip hop with some talented friends like Justin Chadburn, Deshan from DBD, Jerome O'Connell, and Sacha Morgan and in that same time, was playing music with Chris Austwick (who is an excellent singer/songwriter by the way). Recently, i played the drums in the Glastonbury Panto, which was a crackeroo and a very unique experience, and now i am mailnly focused on " Miracle Strain ", and " The Jesse Love Band ", playin soulfull, spiritual music.
