Single Sentence Biography:
I write about both personal and universal love, music, dear friends, ex-friends and bandmates, my obsession with space and time and
just an emotional unveiling of my innards.
Full Biography:
The most amazing thing to me is the concept of writing a song. One day, it ceases to exist and the next, it exists for all of eternity.
Before I ever picked up an instrument, at 10, I'd become fascinated with session musicians. My best childhood friend was a sort of prodigy pianist with older siblings that had all these fabulous records hanging around that I wouldn't have heard otherwise: Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush, John Martyn, etc... I seemed to notice that John Giblin or Tony Levin were playing bass on practically every album we were listening to and I was always pouring over liner notes and saw that Pino Palladino was doing much the same and with every artist from Pete Townshend to Gary Numan to Julia Fordham and I became determined to become a coveted musician that could play anything with perfect precision and an identifiable sound. So, in addition to taking jazz lessons, my practice was to learn every song off every album I had in my possession and by 17, I was professionally playing on recordings and was always happy to lend my bass to songs/ Movie and Television soundtracks and commercial spots written by others as well as supporting multiple bands as a sideman playing both fretted and fretless bass.
I always marvelled that people could write songs but never thought of writing my own until a long-time bandmate of mine asked why I didn't. So, I had a crack at it, trying to write songs on bass and that didn't work at all, so I started teaching myself keyboards and a month later I was writing songs and people seemed to really enjoy them when we would record them or play them live, so it very quickly became my favourite thing to do and I began writing songs in droves and never seemed to run out of ideas. I also had a background and love of writing which I could now apply as a lyricist to my songs.
