About Me

MyGen Profile Generator
I am a solo guitarist/vocalist.
I record lo-fi songs. I play hi-def shows.
I'm down with the kids.

Despite being more than competent at playing with myself (out and about acoustically)...I'm also forming a RAWK band and looking for musicians with varying skills so do get in touch if you are interested in my music or the list of influences on the left. We can have a nice chat if nothing else.

"he says he's just a bedroom artist with a guitar...and er...it's quite good" - Matt Seymour, BBC Radio York.

I like wandering around fretboards, it's better than going outside and talking to people. I have shunned society in favour of making noise since the turn of the century.

If you do anything musical then I'd love to get together and mix our noises.
