I'm originally from England, although I now live in Normandy, Northern France.

I also lived in New York for a number of years, where I was briefly signed to MCA.

Am currently writing songs (have enough material for several albums, although I don't have a record deal), playing acoustic gigs, working on my first novel ('Scream Factory') and am in the midst of writing a Forward for a book of Sonnets.
