About Me

I've been recording and writing songs for well over 10 years but until now never did anything about it. I lived in Japan for a few years as well, which inspired me to return to the UK and do something with my music.
I signed to Sentinel Recordings last year and expect things to start happening early next year.
The greatest inspiration to me over the years has to be he work of Nick Drake, and like he, I never play out for fear of criticism and public reaction. Watch this space though. Hope you like the songs.
