About Me

I am a guitarist / producer / composer. On Wednesdays and Thursdays I'm a composer for film and other media, on Friday I'm a producer of other people's material. Over the weekend I perform Gypsy and Brazilian influenced music with some great musicians around the UK. Monday I write dark brooding tunes, which leaves Tuesday for joyous songs.

I can change my working schedule. If specially requested. And absolutely necessary. Sometimes.

Each side can be quite seperate at times, but they all feed into each other. My composing has a songwriter's sense of melody. My songwriting uses classical guitar technique. My guitar performances have a strong Gypsy, Klezmer and Brazilian influence. And over the past year I've been delving into Indian classical music.
