Musician (lead and rhythm guitar), singer, songwriter, producer. I've been there, done that, and got more than a few T-shirts. Now I'd like form a new band with some likeminded musicians, or join an already established band in need of a guitarist, playing progressive and gritty jazz-funk/jazz fusion with an interested in playing original songs, including some of my own.

The tracks and videos on my profile are all original songs, written by me (with the exception of the videos of me playing the Jaspar Jalily and Brian Bromberg solos). The tracks were performed, recorded, mixed and produced by me in my studio (which can be available for the band to use as required). On "Golden Cafe", the sax solo and piano solo (and some organ) were performed by a couple of professional musician friends, with my son (professional drummer), Ricky Russell on drums (Ricky plays on all my tracks). “The Colours Of You” features my wife Paula, who also does bv’s on several of my songs.

I’ve spent most of my life immersed in creating music that will inspire, uplift and make you wanna dance as well as provoke thought and meditation.

Influences

I love music in general, and I have favourites from virtually every genre, but my personal influences range from Frank Gambale, Steely Dan, Chick Corea and Snarky Puppy to B.B. King and James Brown; however, I believe I’ve found my own unique jazz-funk/jazz fusion sound, and I like creating music that’s pleasantly familiar whilst at the same time incorporating fresh and exciting dynamics along with expressive phrases and melodies.

You may have seen me on the 2015 series of the Sky Arts program “Guitar Star”.
