I've been playing guitar since I was 11, so that's "mumblemumblemumble" years now, lol. I remember hearing Queen II, and from the first few seconds of Procession, I knew I wanted to play the guitar. Predominantly self-taught, I've been playing with bands since I was 15 years old. Queen were my first musical love, and remain a huge influence to this day. Over the years I've become a huge fan of Pink Floyd, Muse, Rush, Marillion, Boston, Porcupine Tree and Steven Wilson. Although gigging with bands for many years, I was always interested in the writing and production side of things, and, as technology has progressed and allowed, I now write and record songs in my home studio. Modern techniques afford musicians of today the ability to work with their peers all over the world, without ever actually meeting in person, and I have worked with artists in the USA, Canada and Dubai to name a few. The Lucid Dream project is basically the umbrella name, given to my songs, that are sung with whichever vocalist fits the bill and mood of the song. I also work as a "gun for hire" guitarist, and am always open to contributing to other people's projects as either a guitarist, bassist or producer.
