As a young musician, he developed his musical skills playing the working-mens clubs of Northern England. He played the same stages as musical giants including: The Hollies, The Swinging Blue Jeans, The Tremeloes, and even The Beatles. After touring Europe with several bands, he landed in Denmark during the indie rock scene of the 1980’s. From then on, that was home.

Recent projects include the recording of a new album of duets co-written with a collection of powerhouse female songwriters/vocalists. Two tracks from the project –  “Watch Out” co-written with Nanna Larsen and “My Chemical Distortion” with artist MetGry – are to be featured in the American national television series, Synchronicity. Another track, “White Knuckles”, developed while on location during a USA tour, features a partnership with Kristina Jacobson and is included on her album, Three Roses.
