Biography

I've been a pro musician for more than 20 years, as guitarist in the band, Fragment.
In recent years I've been developing myself as a songwriter.

At the moment, I'm working with Maarten v. Praag [ex City to City] on songs for his debut solo album, to be released later this year. I've also written or co-written a number of minor hits with Fragment - including the songs, "Wrong Train", and "Popstars" [co-written].

"I Can't Breathe" was recently translated into Spanish and has just been released in Spain by the band, Gpunto, as "Silencios". I twice entered songs into the UK songwriting contest - "Miracles still come to those who wait" was winner of the Folk/Country category in 2007, and "I know that you'll be there" was 2nd in the Adult Contemporary category in 2008. "Car Crash" was recently a no.1 at Broadjam.com.

My long-term goal is to be able to make it to the very top as a songwriter - however I'm aware that this will require hard work, patience and a willingness to adapt and learn along the way. Looking forward to the challenge :)
