My Journey

My special relationship with creating music began at the age of 6 by learning to play the drums and my passion for creativity continued by learning a number of other instruments into my early teens. A special thank you to my late father who always had music on in the house from Jazz to Fusion and Motown which helped start my beautiful relationship as an only child with melody in my early years.

At the age of 14, I was awarded a music scholarship in percussion and with electronic music growing in popularity in the 80's, I went on to learn keyboards, a number of other instruments and then study music technology in my spare time.

In the late 80's, I co-wrote my first melodic instrumental works for a cartoon project with a member from the UK pop group "Babakota" that was marketed to broadcast media. After that project, I began to write and produce my music catalogue around electronic house music and breakbeat with underlying influences from fusion, hip-hop, funk, jazz and electronic music.

In the nineties, I worked with a range of talented producers and artists and managed to have music played on Sky Television and co-wrote and co-produced a white label remix that reached number 1 in the London Uptown Independent Dance Music Charts.

My remixing continued in the nineties working with artist managers such as Tom Watkins where I composed and co-produced 3 remixes for his North and South Opus project. Other projects on spec included a remix project for East 17 along with 2 composition remix projects for Peter Andre via Alchemy Music Management. After a dynamic journey working in the music industry, I started a family and my career took a new direction but always had the inner ambition of keeping it in my life.

In 2024, I decided to revisit my music passion and start composing, song-writing, producing a new and diverse catalogue across multiple music genres. Genres include Drum and Bass, Funk, House, Trance, Chill-beat, Melodic and Progressive House.

Alongside a long list of prolific artistic influences, my creative inspiration to write music has also emanated from my connection with imagery, picture, film, situational perception, memories, people, interaction and life experiences.

My music aims to place itself in and around the following categories:

- Soundtracks for Film and TV

- Soundtracks for Digital Media

- Soundtracks for Gaming

- Dance Music

Since restarting my journey, I would like thank those who have always encouraged me to release my music and especially my good friend George from mid 2025. Thank you again for all your support that will never be forgotten.

Every song has a story behind it and I hope you can enjoy any of my music shared.

Thanks for reading.

Stay strong!
