A bit of Background Stuff covering the past 6 months 2008 / 2009
I’m based in the sunny UK and looking to get signed, do supports and get my music out their.
Been singer/song writer of rock/indie songs for a few years now and really love performing on stage. I write original music and have I feel a different vocal and music sound. The main thing is I don’t try to sound like anyone else.
