Music has always been my escape, a voyage away from reality into a world where everything is perfect. Whether that was growing up to the sounds of Oasis or using my own music and song writing as a way to cope with the problems that life throws at us all.
As a man I always find it incredibly difficult to talk about mental health and what truly is on my mind, however song writing sets me free. Subjects I can’t talk about I can write a song about, share my struggles and find a clearer path.
Following life changing events over the last few years I decided to release my music in the hope that sharing my struggles would help others who felt lost in their own journey.
Together we will be ok.
"Awesome sound, great potential, a really diverse songwriter” - BBC MUSIC INTRODUCING
“A wonderful voice, I really enjoyed your performance. Your songs remind me of Willie Nelson!” - SIR MICHAEL EAVIS CBE, FOUNDER OF GLASTONBURY FESTIVAL
"When I Sing Our Song" reached number one in the Australian Country Music Charts and number eight in the UK.
My main musical influences would have to be Oasis, without whom I would never have picked up a guitar. After being taught the chords to Wonderwall I used their music to teach myself guitar and over twenty years later here I am. Mix that with an obsession on everything about The Beatles and my love for the melancholic tones of Ryan Adams and you probably have the basic ingredients for my sound.
I am originally from Staffordshire in England and now live with my family in Somerset where we have a smallholding with lots of animals to keep us busy.
