Why this name?
Aside from older relatives, no one calls me "Christopher" anymore - except if I've been naughty.
My self-publishing name is Watch Out! Music which stems from the stage musical "Daniel - Watch out!"

Do you play live?
YES and NO. Explain:
YES, I've lead worship, particularly children's church which means bouncing like a tigger, violently strumming my guitar trying to generate enthusiasm amongst kids who stare blankly back at me.
NO, I've not done a live show.
On the studio recordings, I play all the instruments myself and work alone without a band (everyone say "ahhhhh").
DANIEL STAGE MUSICAL: This is intended to be performed on stage by people who can actually sing. The demo recordings here are of my voice multitracked many times . The songs "WATCH OUT!" and "BY THE WATERS" have been performed in theatre but not the musical in its entirety.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Drastically; it's very liberating, especially for a lonesome studio lizzard like me.
I've found an audience worldwide and my songs are played and sung more times abroad than they are in my home county.
It also allows an artist to collaborate with people in other countries I've never physically met.
I have a lot of songwriting friends, whom I met over the internet and communicate with more regularly than people in my own town! I'm a member of the Christian Songwriting Network and this site is frequently in the Top 15 of the....

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes, as long as it didn’t compromise my musical freedom [what? get real, Christopher]........sorry, what I meant to say was "YES, WHERE DO I SIGN?"

Your influences?
My main influence is God's own creation. I look around and see vibrtant colour, diversity in design and technical detail and try to apply this in my music. I am simply influenced by my creator.
Specifically:
Children's/praise lyrics influenced by Ishmael, Graham Kendrick and Noel Richards.
Theatrical music influenced by Sparks, Andrew Lloyd-Webber, Alan Menken, Stephen Schwartz plus songs I hear on the better kids TV programmes such as The Muppets, lazy Town or Veggie Tales.
Instrumentation influenced by Vangelis, Kitaro, Tchaikovsky, Sparks, Prokofiev, Philip Glass and mixing rock with various world music styles and instruments.
[As Inspector Cluseau might say: I am influenced by everything and influenced by nothing]
