About Me

for those of you that don't know me ... I'm not really a stickman, just a slightly silly boy ... but I do play guitar. I love a diverse range of music from soul, jazz, funk, reggae, blues, folk to hip hop, drum and bass and electronic wobbly noises. Mainly I play blues, folk and whatever these songs I wrote count as. After a few years of feeling unhappy with soley accoustic music I've been learning how to craft sample based music and started working with an old friend (tickle on the raps) which is beginning to come together nicely...
