So, yeah! I started doing shows a good few years ago, and since moving to leeds, i've decided to do house shows! Everyone is always really cool at the, so it makes it worth it letting people invade my house. Thanks go to my housemates and neighbours for always being awesome about it!So, i was born in Lancaster, and now i'm in Leeds doing creative music and sound technology! It's not what i wanna be doing but i'm in 3rd year so i'll stick it out! The label basically comes outta me having recording equipment set up in my bedroom, and i would love to have people come and record with me, i'll do it for free, you just have to party with me!! After releasing PJ, Gaby and Neil's CD i realised i could also help out some of my other friends, so thats what the label is now!

I'm lucky enough to have amazing friends that take good care of me when i'm poor! Pj, Gaby and Neil took me on their European tour, we went to Switzerland, Austria and Slovenia...i've literally never had more fun!Seeing sights, free bars, amazing people and getting to see them all play every night was just crazy! And also managing to adventure to Paris with Becka to adventure and sit under the Eiffel Tower, and finish the trip off with watching Erik Petersen play in a squat was so much fun! And recently last minute adventuring to Berlin with Becka and Niki was crazy! Becoming travel dad and eating more than my bodyweight in food and getting drunk in sweet little bars! FUN! Also, visiting Ryan in Bloomington early this year was amazing. I saw snow for the first time in ages, got to hang out with some of the sweetest ever people and have just the best time! I always feel so lucky with the places i've been, the people i know and the things i get to do...i've learnt i can never really seriously complain...although i do try to!!
