Born, bred and still based in Kilburn, North London. I began playing guitar when I was 15 and then started to put songs together almost immediately. Whenever I tried to cover songs that I liked - Oasis were a big influence - I'd find myself wandering, digressing into areas where I could develop my own melodies, improvise, or try out different runs and chord changes. I'd grown up on a diet of soul music: James Brown, Marvin Gaye and Norman Whitfield- era Temptations; plus, the guitar players that I leaned towards instinctively, were the likes of JJ Cale, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and John Martyn. Since 2001 I have played over 350 gigs mostly in and around London, but also in Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, Coventry, Brighton, Loughborough, Oxford, Nottingham, Southampton, Stratford Upon Avon, Bristol, St Helens, Petersfield, Norwich, Great Yarmouth, Leeds, Bradford, Newcastle, Winsford, Stockport. Last year I broke into Wales and played Aberdare, plus a number of festivals including Eastern Haze, the Kingston Green Fair, and the Tanners Music Festival. I have also done support slots for Blues Legends Chicken Shack, Otis Grand & punk hero John Otway.
