About Me
Hey all!
Hmmmm, where to start? The basics right?
Well, I grew up in the North of England although my mothers family are from the South, and now live in Heaton Norris in the suburbs of Manchester.
I am 6'6" tall (6'8" in high heels, but have terrible problems dancing in them...and the midwife said I wouldn't be long etc.etc.!!) have vampire blue eyes and a comedy paint brush on my chin. When people meet me, I sometimes get told I look like Brendan Fraser, but I am unsure if this is a compliment or not?!
I'm a complete travel addict and in the last 5 years have been fortunate enough to have been to Vietnam, India, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Malaysia, Australia, Costa Rica, Panama, Saint Lucia, Czech Republic, Poland and most of Europe. South America and New Zealand are next on my hit list as soon as i've caried out the bank robbery that I am currently in preparation for.
Without wanting to sound a bit simple, animals make me very happy indeed!!...I mean come on! How awesome are penguins, elephants, kangaroos, koala bears and dogs?!
My life from being 13 yrs old, after seeing my first gig has pretty much been music. I started playing guitar straight after and following a string of dead end jobs in my late teens became a professional touring musician/songwriter with internationally released albums for most of my twenties.
During my career as a musician I had the privelege of touring Europe with Machine Head, Slipknot twice, Megadeth, Fear Factory, Anthrax, Type O Negative, Soulfly, Saxon, Entombed, One Minute Silence, Running Wild, Bruce Dickinson, Devin Townsend, Grip Inc etc.etc.
Highlights of my life as a musician would have to include playing live on French TV to over 6 million people on their 'TFI Friday' equivalent called 'Nulle Par Aeilleurs' on Canal Plus, and playing the song Davidian on stage with Machine Head in Lille.
AMAZING memories and I really wouldn’t change anything for the world. But around 5 years ago, after realizing that life as a musician was not going to provide me with the right financial and emotional stability for my future, I decided to move into music production.
For a while, I combined work with completing a 3 year degree in music production at Manchester University gaining a 2:1 with honours, and everything is going really well for me on the production front!
Other passions of mine include reading, walking, playing chess, single malt whiskey, red wine and Ben and Jerry's! a href="http://myspace.nuclearcentury.com" style="position:absolute; top:0px; left:50%; margin-left:-235px; z-index:9; width:80px; height:15px; background-image:url
