My compositions are strongly influenced by my Brazilian roots and my love of the culture and music.
As an English guy living in Brazil, I feel this has infused the music with elements of both melancholy and happiness.

Do you play live?
I play in a local bossa nova/MPB Band. It's a huge pleasure playing with seasoned musicians, improvising, learning new music and enjoying the nightlife of the live scene
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It makes good music and cultural diversity available to those with otherwise no means of discovering different or alternative forms of music and arts
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes but only if I was 100% happy with the terms and conditions!
Your influences?
Smoky Getz-like sax, bossa guitar and lots of soul
Favorite spot?
my home
Equipment used:
Logic 7 Pro, Metric Halo FW interface, G4 Titanium Powerbook, synth etc
Anything else...?
I would love to hear your views on the music. Every comment gets a reply!
