About Me

in the words of joe bataan, i don't drive a beautiful car and i don't own an elegant home... instead i live a simple life in south wales where i listen to music and make tunes amongst other things. i'm a musician and passionate fan of music who spends far too much time and money on records and random instruments (probably why i don't have the beautiful car and elegant home). at the moment i'm working on releasing some records and helping various people with writing / production / arrangements / mixing etc.

the rest of the time i'm probably out buying records, browsing the net (and buying records online), reading, watching tv (probably football or some 24 news channel), in the pub, reading the paper or sleeping.

My Interests

music, music, music, beats, records, production, football...
