About Me |
|
| Howdy and welcome. I'm part of a great band called The Storys ( www.myspace.com/thestorys ) and also part of a very cool project called ChimpanA ( www.myspace.com/chimpana ), which sounds like Pink Floyd making sweet love to Zero 7 (spoken word, opera, samples, decks and great tunes!). Both albums are out now. Every now and then I'm part of a choir called The Choir (obviously), featuring some amazing singers and we too intend to record an album at some stage. I really love writing with and for other people... Once in a blue moon, if the mood takes me, I like to grow a beard and cry (see video)! When I'm not doing something with music, I'm usually found watching Barney with my little girl. I also like to paint, cook, study philosophy and spirituality, watch cage fighting and practice martial arts. I am a pupil of vocal teacher Jill Purce ( www.jillpurce.com ). I thank my lucky stars I have the chance to make music everyday. Peace, love and thanks...
