Actually I’m an Engineer professionally but in a roundabout way it funds my passion for writing, recording and performing. I live in hope for some recognition for my creation.

Bohemian Rhapsody

Who is your dream duet partner?
Mmm, tricky. So many really but sadly most of them have passed.
Who would you like to go on tour with?
Probably Chris Stapleton as I think our fusion of influence is similar and we’re both from Staffordshire, albeit different ones. 😊
What is your ultimate career goal(s)?
Like any song writer I’d like at least one decent success, I’d like to think many of my tunes have cinematic potential, it would be a dream come true to have something playing out in an opening sequence!
