Born in Kent, England many moons ago and lived there until I was around 11/12..Then lived in Essex , then Lancashire for over 20 years, then Lincolnshire for many more years and Switzerland for 10 years now happilly back in the beautiful UK, Lincolnshire.   I began being an online singer/songwriter around 1999/2000, before that I considered myself to be a "singer in the bath".      I first encountered online collaboration through my ex., Ian Semple/Brodo and he,  via Steinbergs "Rocketnetwork" which came free with Cubase back in those days.. I was totally awestruck by the fact that I could make music with people worldwide who I`d never met personally before. Since those days I`ve written and sung countless, finished songs and always have many others in various stages of completion.  As you can see by my list I have dozens of collab partners, some of whom have become very close and dear friends in real life. Infact the first person`s song I ever added to on online, was one by "stevegtr3" ( Steve Pearce) who became one of my dearest and closest friends and was also a member here. Steve sadly died January 2011..R.I.P. dear friend, the gap you`ve left can`t be filledxxx..  I am very much an "INDIE" singer, painting my songs using MY colours and mixing them to the hues that suit my musical palette.  I`m very happy to be uniquely and uncontrollably me.    I NEVER try to sound like anyone else when I sing, always prefering what comes naturally to me.     I rarely if ever sing other peoples lyrics and my own are generally minimal.   I don`t feel I need to write a book when I can say it in a sentence..:-)If you decide to listen to a song or two I hope you enjoy what you hear..:-)My songs are all open for free download and if you`d like copies, please feel free to help yourself. I`m so very thankful to everyone I`ve collabed with for thier musical generosity in making thier music freely available to me, to the many who`ve written and created pieces especially for me and to those who`ve helped me along the way,  big Thanks to all of them..  Some of the people that I made music with in the past on and off line:- ..My dear, dear departed friends, the late Clint Warwick, original bass player with The Moody Blues and Steve Pearce, Doozy and music1961 (Tony Pipe)...Those friends were all met on the net and became very close, real life friends...Danny King... sheck... herman... lennie...Daze... bigmoon... bop... timmymacdd...
