Played bass in bands in South London in the 80s, with some interesting and talented people, such as pianist Chris Kibble and Nipple Erectors guitarist Gavin Douglas.

Got seriously interested in recording from my first band studio session in an 8-track a long time back in 1981. Even recorded at the legendary BBC Radiophonic Workshop. Eventually got my own 8-track in 1988.

Began programming using C-Lab Creator, the ultimate ancestor of Logic Pro which I use today - how many people can say they have been using the same family of music production software for 20 years? Got some programming work and also did quite a lot of library and production music in the 90s. Had also done a course in DX7 programming and for a while had a contract with a publisher of DX sounds (aaah.. the digital 80s)

Taught Music Tech (Cubase, Programming, Synthesis and Sound Design and more) on Level 2 and 3 courses at South Thames College in London from 1994 to 1999.

Moved to the Isle of Wight for family reasons in 1999.

Did further programming work back in London, also recording artists in my own project studio - this carries on to the present day. Have done the odd remix. Did a little more teaching down here, recorded some live performances and did a little consulting.

Until about 2004 was very involved in the Music Producers Guild, particularly on the education side of things. Have several times been a visiting producer on the Glamorgan University/MPG Recording Summer School, working with students to record live bands.

Moved to Southsea (Portsmouth) in May 2008. After a lot of big life changes, got busy again!

Finished my album Scattered Stars and released it via CD Baby at the end of 2008.

Have taught some Music Tech for Highbury College from Jan 2009 to date, including getting my head round Pro Tools 8.

June 09 mixed dance track Days Like This for Victorion Music. This is is a nice direction to go in - I'd like to do more!

Moved back to the Isle of Wight in Dec 2009, now living in Ryde.

Mixed (including some keyboard & drum programming and playing bass guitar) 6 out of 10 tracks for the album Aghaaz- The Beginning by Katrina Fountain & Nadeem Khan; mastered the album. There is some beautiful playing and singing on this and I am proud to have worked on it.

Currently working on:

Tracks for my second album Reiki Journey , an out-and-out meditative/ambient work for my Reiki sessions (I have completed 30 minutes out of 50 and tested extensively in treatment sessions with great success) ;

Instrumental material with sax and flute player Gary Plumley.

I have now joined the band Us in the Portsmouth area as bass player and am rehearsing some excellent original material to gig in the autumn.
