About Me

I played guitar and sang in a few bands, 'Silent Moves', 'Breather' and 'The Hairy Empire' amongst the most notable. I now front Beijing based band 'Girls Are Waiting To Meet You'(GAWTMY).

2008 was really great year with the formation of GAWTMY and host of fantastic gigs around Beijing. We are now buried away in the studio.

the music on this myspace page is some of the stuff I've done on my own over the years.

I'll be putting some music up here when i see fit, and announcing any live shows or exciting things that may be happenning with my musical advenutres in the future. Till then, take care.
