I’ve been involved in music both performing and recording for more than 20 years now. I still get excited when I’m working on new stuff and really love the whole creative process.  The songs I’ve written reflect feelings that I’ve experienced on my travels over the years. Some are happy and some are sad but the one thing they all have in common is that they’re real! It’s great to have been able to have total control of the writing and recording process from beginning to end. I may have “gone off on one” from time to time but it’s all about experimenting and finding inspiration.

 

 

 

Production Music. I have worked with my writing partner, Ian Clarke, as Diva Music, on numerous projects in this field. We have written and produced work that ranges from aggressive, in your face music to beautiful and atmospheric pieces and pretty much everything in between. We’ve worked with several different publishers over the years and the material has been used on ads by Budweiser, Mazda, Lucozade and Legoland and also on numerous TV programmes including Friends.

 

 

 

Carter USM. In the early 1990’s I worked as engineer and producer with Carter USM. I even ended up performing live with the band on a number of occasions include the Astoria London and on tour in Europe. We had great success with several top 30 singles and a number one album.

 

 

 

 

 

A Novice At This Game Of Life is my first solo album. I’m working on more songs which I will put on the site as and when they are finished.
