Born in Nottingham, England to a musical Father. Played music professionally before moving to the US in 1989. Played in a trio on Hampton Beach, NH. I Had an original band there called "Too Cool For HUmans" it was founded with my best friend from England with whom I travelled to the US.

In 1995 I moved from NH, to CA. I Spent a number of years working for a software company called Emagic. They made software called "Logic", and "Logic Audio". It was ironic, because back in the UK, I used to use Atari software called "Creator", and "Notator", by CLab's. Logic Audio was written by the same people. I also played out live every week with various musicians around the Sacramento area. Mostly playing drums, and singing.

I have many recording that stem from over the years, songs that I've either written, produced, mixed, or had something to do with in one way or another. Some are just in demo form, some finished, some not, but they reflect the period that they were recorded in, the equipment I had at the time, the way I was feeling, etc..

I've always had an obsession with computers and music. Back on the East Coast, I did various recording sessions at various colleges in Boston, showing the latest in Computer recording software. At that time it was a Mac SE30, running DIgidesign Sound Tools, and Opcode Studiovision. Before that It was a Mac Plus with Performer and a Jam Box... Before that the Atari 1040ST running either Notator SL, or Pro24. All great programs of their time..

Since then, I've been involved mostly with Pro Tools, and Logic Pro, Ableton Live, and Reason. I'm a Mac user and therefore a little less knowledgeable on PC based programs such as Fruity Loops, or Sonar. Give me 20 minutes on them and I'll be kicking your ass ;-)

I will continue updating.
