ABOUT
I'm a solo recording artist. I have my music all over the place online. Not enough to justify an album but enough over the years in just recording alone. I released a single in mid 2004. I haven't recorded in over a decade. I am still old school and require a producer to assist me in getting my music down. I suppose my genre is somewhere in between 80's style hard rock and heavy metal. I have a thing for ballads as I consider myself more of a songwriter than performer. Currently, I have been having health issues which has stopped me from recording but intend to continue once my health has been sorted. If you want to check out my tunes, some of them are in here. I think I have some videos posted as well. Enjoy.

Influences
There are so many influences in music that I just couldn't pinpoint them down to one artist. A few of my favourites would happen to be: Kip Winger, Bon Jovi, James Ingram, Jewel, Ray Charles, Shania Twain, Adrian Vandenberg and David Coverdale. I could do this all day.

EQUIPMENT
Right now I currently sport a stock cutaway Ovation acoustic electric guitar and a vintage Vandenberg Signature Model. I'm armed with a Blackstar HT1-RH. I also play SG Ibanez Bass and an RG series. I have a few Roland keyboards. A FP10 stage piano and GO: 3. I got them for coffee house size gigs and small venues. Boss Cube. Everything needed to make a keyboard pit. That’s it. Update: I got a LD Systems Maui 5, another Ovation and some new gear for a solo/small gig plus.

Wrote this song I believe in 2004. Recorded this with sound engineer Adrian O'Keefe from Cavesham, Reading. Thanks for making me sound good. Well, as good as it can get.
