Made in Barcelona, living in Sheffield. Self taught guitarist and bass player, classically trained in Pianoforte and Violoncello, I decided to learn to record and write music whilst in Lockdown 1. I did it for fun and to stop myself going mad, as I couldn't get anybody to sing I ended up doing that too. There's a first time for everything, right?

With much support and encouragement from friends, I decided to put my recordings out. I'm two singles in so far. Both received well, especially Please, Baby Please which has gained quite a lot of positive press at home in the UK and internationally. My music has been played on Radio Stations all around the planet, from National Radio in Spain (Disco Grande) to Australia and American College Radio as well as loads of UK Stations. It's been an awesome experience, very humbling and has kept me sane-ish in these crazy times!

Crispin Hunt: (Longpigs; British Academy of Songwriters) ’These recordings are great! Hints of The The in there…’
John Perry: (NME, The Guardian, Uncut, Loaded) ‘…that Killing Joke, Psychedelic Furs, NIN, early Sisters/late Depeche Mode thing it’s got going on. It’s a really distinctive sound I haven’t heard anywhere else!’
Philip Oakey (The Human League and splendid chap): ‘Really good stuff!’
Arlo: (Pint-Sized Punk Zine) ‘He sent us some stuff to listen to and it’s actually really good!’

Fresh from an exciting weekend at the Green Man Festival I wrote a new song called You, me us. The video's on my YouTube channel and on my the video's section of this website.

A new single will drop early 2022 with a new album to follow. Come follow me to keep in the loop.

My latest single dropped on the 29th March, Blue Mediterranean, again on Only Fruit Recordings. This was followed on July the 2nd by my first album. It is called Mind Games and is now available via this website, as well as all good online outlets. Make sure to watch my videos, add me to your playlists, and please send me a message so I can let you know all my news. Stay safe.

Keep on keeping on!
