My debut solo album "Escape Velocity" - Click to purchase:

Why this name?

Um...It's what I'm called!

Do you play live?

I do play live (as a pro drummer) and have performed all over the UK and across Europe with various bands & artists over the years. As yet, I haven't performed any of my solo stuff live - it's more of a studio based thing really, but I'd never say never...

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?

The internet gives all independent artists the opportunity to showcase their music to a global audience...which is pretty cool really! :o)

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?

Yep....But only if the deal was right for me.

Band History:

Your influences?

I love so many different styles of music and such a broad range of artists that this list should be much longer, but the kind of people who have influenced my writing the most are: Mike Oldfield, Enigma, Faithless, Jean-Michel Jarre, Jan Hammer, Vangelis, Afro-Celt sound system....amongst many others!

Favorite spot?

London, UK.
