Born in the year of the rat & a scorpio! hmmmmm!!!

About Me

Im a musician(The Symphony of Screams), and a sound engineer. I'm blesed to have studio (Red Room), which satisfies my insatiable need for creativity. I feel totally alive in the studio or performing.... Lifes too short not to Rock....HARD!!!!But on a more personal level, Im deeply spiritual,and enjoying the humbling journey through this life..good to know, that once again,Im travelling amongst good freinds!!!!

My Interests

Opening my mind to posibility and spirituality.Im at level II Reiki, and it has changed my life for the good.My day begins with yoga, the tranquility befor the storm.In stark contrast to spiritual calm I love anything that gives me adrenoline!! I love to Sky dive, dive and to sail, and surf when i can.My main interest and love 'above all' is music. Its my passion and life. Writing lyrics, and music, is what really defines me.

I'd like to meet:

I enjoy meeting and learning about new people, cultures and views on life, the more I learn about others the more I realise that there is so much more to learn!

Music:

My musical influences are very wide. www.thesymphonyofscreams.comMy first love is Rock, i.e Sound Garden, Rage Against the Machine, Kyuss, The Tea Party, Faith no More, Tool, and The Perfect Circle.And if I need inspiration when writing.. then I have a toke and listen to the mighty Led Zep, the Doors, Hendrix, the stooges or the who!Other influences come from Jazz, Regae & Dub, world music.... some of those African Guitarists are simply awesome!!!!I have been known to be off my face at a rave..... I really get into trance, but its not the kind of stuff I'd listen to at home or in the car.

Movies:

Cheech & Chong!!! YEA!!!! Star Wars.. come on!

Television:

Lifes to short for TV man!!! ok any sick british humour... The Office, the green room, Black Books, Mighty Boosh etc...

Heroes:

Those who put the needs of others 1st!
