About Me

..
Layout Created at ProfilePimp.com
I'm a singer songwriter from North London. I've been playing piano since I was 5 and writing music from a little bit older. My early efforts were never gonna win me Ivor Novello's but I did get to see one of my songs performed live and sung by a professional choir in Westminster Central Hall at the age of 12. ____________________________________________________________ ____I'm not quite sure what happened in between then and, well, the last few years, but I'm ashamed to say I did lose the thread for a while. I wrote a bit, played a bit and listened a lot but pretty much left it there. I've changed all that, and to-date I've written 10 tracks which I am looking to put together into an album. I'm also looking for publishing deals so if there are any publishers out there looking for songs please contact me. ____________________________________________________________ ____I feel I should write something random and maybe even interesting rather than more information about my accomplishments if you've made it this far, as it seems to be very myspace. So I thought some name dropping might be appropriate:Goldie Hawn once sat drinking tea with Koo Stark (Prince Andrews ex) on my living room floor (long story) while her body guard waited outside oh...and....I used to ferry Rod Stewarts mum around Muswell Hill - where I grew up - in my little yellow fiesta. I mean I didnt grow up in the car but you know what I mean. Nice lady and she didnt mind all the fag burns (aka cigarette burns in U.S. of A. I would like to add at this point). ____________________________________________________________ ___Everything you hear is me, I can't deny it any more, with some production done by Tom Crowning in Germany. Any musicians wanting to collaborate, I'm open to suggestion. Please feel free to leave me a comment if you fancy it and make me look a little bit popular. Thanks
