I wanted to be pilot but at thirteen I found out that my eyes are poor, so I started using my ears. Wondered why the world was blurry in the eighties and my mum was always telling me to listen. So began my love affair with all things sonic. Initially my music was just an excuse to play with sounds, but it soon found a structure and I started to write 'songs'.
I would like to think that my music has an honest quality about it, with frank and personal lyrics that are often universal amongst listeners. My latest project "Et Cetera" is a collection of rough tracks that never made it onto either "My Piranha" or "Sagittarius", and I think it gives a good impression of how the embryonic demos transform into fuller songs over time. That said, none of the tracks upon "Et Cetera" could ever be deemed complete, instead they were abandoned at different stages of the production, and we never returned to finish them. However, I do think they have a value, and I am proud of them all, as they all belong in a particularly productive period of my life and pseudo-publishing them means they finally leave my 'maybe' pile forever.
You can buy my first two albums My Piranha and Sagittarius upon iTunes.
I'm a busy little boy and I also make independent films with a company called Grand Independent. Very serious stuff. You can see a selection of my films upon my myspace page.

Aw, I'm glad that made you smile! Though, I can't claim it as my own. It's from some stand-up comedian. But, thank you for making music, it makes me smile :)
