I am a songwriter- Track and top line lyricist. I also Produce. I'm no longer an artiste, although I was in a band a few years ago. I spend my time writing with and producing artistes and bands or just co- writing with other writers in the hope we get a decent cut somewhere on this crazy planet!! I was previously part of a writing team called 'Shanti' and we had several successes with our combined efforts.
I've had cuts with Lene Nystrom, Hearsay, No Angels(Germany) and numerous releases via KYR records whilst being signed to BMG Publishing. I have also done production for the BBC and Jaimeson's last album. I have just signed a new publishing deal with Peer music.
I have recently been writing with Ricki Lee (Album due mid August) Emily Baker, Joe Janiak, Sinead Quinn, Ellie Lawson, Jenny Lynne, Steve Lee, Ben Parker (Ben and Jason), Tim Fraser, Henrik Korpi (Murlyn) Innocent (UK Hip Hop rapper), Jason Nevins, Sue Verran, Peter Reis, Alex Geringas, Neil Athale and Gary Kemp, FHM Magazine's 'High Street Honeys', Billie Myers, Daniel Ryan, Booty Luv, Anna Leddra Chapman and Adam Argyle. So far this year I have songs released or being released in Germany, Australia, Netherlands, Portugal and Finland and also some UK releases at the end of the year.
My hair is NOT a perm!
If you like hip hop/ rap with a twist then check out my brother's music..www.myspace.com/innocentproductions. We have been writing, what we hope, will be his debut album. Not usually my style of writing but it's been amazing and opened my eyes to so many new sounds and ideas.

My writing styles cover many genres from alternative country to Hip hop /Rap, Acoustic and Pop. As a writer and not an artiste it's pretty cool to be able to write in different styles depending on the project. Most of all I enjoy writing Singer/ Songwriter type tunes but I'm also partial to be bit of quirky pop and trip hop production. My singing voice is awful! but it works well enough for me to write a decent melody, my songs are written for other people to sing- thank the lord!!
What do I like?
Music, songwriting, tupperware- How did we ever survive before the invention of air tight plastic containers? 'Just because' presents, having a good laugh, toast and jam, big hearts, Girls that spin records- very cool! Texan bars, understanding, sincerity, intelligence, muscles, full english breakfast, my nan's cooking, kung fu movies, acting, fast cars, Smiles, being pampered, going to gig, guitarists! Bubble baths, cherry diet coke, people that aren't cool and don't give a shit about being cool are very cool to me. Accents- listening and imitating! Open spaces, bacon sandwiches, honesty, Studio gadgets, happy faces (people and biscuits!), girls who rock, Getting out of London, taking chances, kindness, nerds, stationary(?) especially pens, talent, great lyrics, the summer, being a goon, mixing a good tune and generally being a bit of a production geek!
