BIOGRAPHY: Born in Northern Ireland, grew up in Hull/Manchester and now live in London, for my sins. I've played piano since I was 4, learnt a bit of cello, took drum lessons for a few years, and taught myself guitar and bass. I've been interested in the recording process since I was small(er) too – I used to collect old record players, and would attempt ping-pong multi-track recording using 80s ghetto-blasters. I now have a little studio set up in my bedroom, which is where I recorded "A Tunnel, Closing In".
I'm currently working on an album's worth of new material, which I hope to have released in some form in 2008.I'm also looking for management. Anyone interested is welcome to message me...
