About Me

Listen To More Of My Stuff Here
I grew up in southern England, and emigrated to California when I turned 17.I have been playing guitar since an early age. I started writing songs in my late teens, early twenties, nothing serious, mostly mod stuff like The Who and The Kinks.I am a bit deaf, so, lately I haven't written or played much, but I would like to try some ideas, put some of my stuff out there and see how many new friends I can make in the process.I record most of my stuff at home using ProTools. I write my songs everywhere, I have little micro-recorders everywhere, so I can grab them and sing my melodies into them and make songs out of them later. I love it.
