About Me

Forced at a young age into playing the guitar by cruel and unusual god parents Mo still dreams that one day he'll fulfill his ambition to be a doctor,lawyer or possibly something in plastics.Has been lucky enough to have played with some great musicians in bands like The Jazz Warriors,Steve Williamson,The Mondesir Brothers and Keith Waithe as well as various pop/soul/rock bands.In 2005,noticed that there seemed to be a lot of tension in the world where the issue of faith was concerned,so put together a band featuring musicians of Jewish,Christian and Muslim faith heritage.BERAKAH (Hebrew and Arabic for "blessing" or "grace") play music for the heart and embody a message of peace.The Times recently ran a major feature on the band which is archived here:http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,3933-2338826.ht mlAside from Berakah,also a regular member of songwriter Pete Brown's band (Cream's songwriting partner),Keith Waithe's Macusi Players,blues/funk band Oniva and the amazing Rietta Austin.
