I studied piano and bassoon as a child. I progressed through the usual route of school and local youth orchestras, wind bands trios and quartets until I left home.

On leaving home and going on to higher eduction I started a recording studio (the now little remembered and little missed stonehenge mobile recording studio). I taught myself acoustic and electric guitar and earned some beer money teaching guitar and piano for a few years in my early twenties. I also kept myself busy by playing guitar, bass and keyboards in an absurdly wide range of bands - The Hot Cucumbers, Indigo Prime, The Rank Outsiders, Plan B, Matricide, Unamerican, The Shake Babies and Burley Chassis to name but a few, and played hundreds of gigs along the way.

I have done commercial sound track work for corporate videos and adverts serving such fine organisations and Proctor and Gamble and Kelloggs and worked in music management for the little known Manali Sounds.

In the last few years I have been writing material with Jolomi Diamond and Monochrome 99 as well as taking on some re-mix projects for other artists.
