I had spent many years Playing with bands and recording, When i decided to put my thoughts into Soundtrack.
I was always a lover of instrumental music and being a guitarist loved such Instrumentalists as , " Joe satriani , Steve Via
Ry Cooder , John Williams etc....
So now even though my work consisits of a lot of strings and Orchestral Compostions , I still havent Forgot my first love .... The Guitar :)
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I was Born in 1974 in a small Town called Grantham, Lincolnshire, England the age of 15, I moved over to Ireland to which I still remain. being influenced by many rock bands and artists I began learning the guitar. Seeing the film Crossroads (blues Film) I saw for the first time a excellent guitarist by the name of Steve Via and from this day I knew that lead guitar was the path I wanted to take!.
I then learned about Joe Satriani (Tutor to Steve Via) who then became my ultimate Icon. At the age of 19 after many years of playing in bands ( See List Below ) and learning as much as I could I began teaching Advanced Lead Guitar technique's holding many workshops.
At the age of 21 I pulled myself out of Live Playing and began gathering resources and equipment for a studio ( Nothing Big!) To which this day I now spend my spare time Composing Instrumentals!
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I do all my recording from home, i have long since played live.
