About Me



Eternally confused lead singer of the “ Heaven’s Heathens ”. Yet to master the complexities of safely crossing the road. Live for music and the band. Sports an unhealthy obsession with Spongebob Squarepants. Intelligent in a totally impractical way. Simply stated a burden to society.

Born in Sri Lanka, I was a cerebral yet stupid kid who fell in love with a character in a book aged 6.

Moved to London many many moons ago, joined a band and lost my cerebral qualities. Always on the lookout to meet new musicians who want to create.
