About Me

I'm interested in making music which resides in the trip hop /leftfield category. I always look to combine the 'light' and 'dark' in my music, whether it be in the chord progression or in the lyrical content. I enjoy playing with extremes and listening to material which exemplifies this. Buck 65 has been an inspiration- I'm intrigued by (Rich Terfy's ) his lyrical content and the backdrop of sounds he uses to compliment his words. Production wise, string parts, double bass sounds and beats are what hit me in the instrumentals i'm hearing currently.'Split' by Cohab is featured on The Late Night Chill Album - a compilation of downtempo chill out tunes. I wrote 'Split' and formed Cohab with Ian Habgood to brings together both our 'takes' on the jazz infused ambient flavour of the tune. The latest acoustic additions to this site were produced by Scott Tayler at the Chocolate Factory studios.My vocals are also featured on Beautiful Collection (upstairs studio 23)with the effervescent rapper, Bibow general produced by Graham Silberger at Phat Phrequency.Currently working with the incredibly talented (and i speak with regard to all of these guys ) Keith Chapman on guitar, Ben Hillyard on bass/double bass and Mick Parker on percussion. Watch this (my)space...
