ABOUT ME
The first thing you'll notice is that I don't play guitar like everyone else - I tap it very fast with my fingertips whilst smashing out drum beats, and my guitar's on my lap.
More importantly tho, I really care about songs and melodies and lyrics and communicating something when I sing. I put everything of myself into my music, and the fact I do mad stuff on guitar is just extra really.
This year I've been recording my debut album, and with an extraordinary team of producers and musicians I think we've achieved my own personal holy grail - pushing the boundaries of the guitar, but using only awesome songs.
Do watch a video if you have 5 minutes, and please say hello - I'd love to hear from you! xWEBTERACT-O-SPECTRUM
