welcome
Hello and welcome to my little bit of the web.
Who am I? Here's a brief musical history..,
- I'm a British multi-instrumentalist.
- I started my solo music career in 2009 with the release of my début album 'Focal Point'. I sang and played all the instruments on this my first album but enlisted amazing drummers to complete the tracks. "Focal Point" features drummers Alex 'The Groove Monster' Cromarty (Mostly Autumn, Gabriel) and Andy Edwards (FROST*, IQ).
- I released my second album "P'dice" (2012). This was largely funded by pre-order from my excellent fans who bought Focal Point. On P'dice I was honoured to have been joined by drummers Gavin Harrison (Porcupine Tree, King Crimson, The Pineapple Thief) and Marco Minnemann (Alex Lifeson, Joe Satriani, Necrophagist, Kreator, Eddie Jobson, Steven Wilson, Steve Hackett, and his bands The Sea Within and The Aristocrats).
- Between 2012 and 2021 I stepped away from publicly releasing songs, instead I prioritised my time on my young family and my professional career as a civil engineer. However during this time I never stopped writing and recording riffs and musical ideas for my own self indulgent pleasure.
- During the Covid lockdowns I gathered my musical detritus together and was surprised I had over 800 ideas scattered about on old laptops, memory sticks and phones.
- Between 2021 and 2023 I released a few singles just to get the old juices flowing.
The Future: This very much depends on what my fans want. To determine this I invite anyone who likes my music to follow my Patreon page for free.
I relaunched my Patreon page in October 2023 because they revamped their platform to allow members to follow artists for free. Perfect. There are also upgrade options so amazing people can support my project (even more perfect).
Patreon is therefore the only platform I intend to regulary update. Each and every post is instantly sent to my followers.
