I am currently studying for my batchelor of Arts in Music Production, having already completed a National diploma in Music Tech and a foundation degree in Music Production.
The Bass guitar was my first love, I taught myself to play, and started my first band. No Comment.We played a few gigs then the Lead singer left, so I decided I would keep the band together by being the Lead singer as well as the Bassist. Soon after I joined up with Garry and we formed the band White Russia.

After the split of White Russia , I sold all my music gear, apart from my Bass Guitar which I kept for another year or two, before I finally decided to part with it. I kept up my Guitar playing as a hobby.
several years racing superbike’s on country roads was my new drug/buzz but you can only cheat death so many time's before it turns round and bites you on the arse, and it's not like i didn't have enough warnings.
Wheelie’s were a speciality of mine, my last one (2005) almost killed me. I spent two months in hospital I had to learn to walk again and now I’m left permanently disabled with a limp and an arm and hand that no longer works. I still love bike’s, I just wish I could still ride one.
Once out of hospital I spent a while feeling sorry for myself, but that’s not me, I decided I would see Garry and find out about doing a bit of singing again.
As soon as I could drive again I went straight to see him, while there he introduced me to Cubase (the industry standard music creation & production software) which was a bit of a revelation for me.
Six months later I was at full time college studying Music Technology (studio engineering) writing and recording songs with Cubase, Pro Tools, Logic and other types of computer software.
