Started off doing popular cover acoustic songs, and became like a sponge to whatever music was around. Attended classes in West African and Jazz music, so know Afro beat and Jazz standards, played with a violinist doing Celtic music/folk. Played with a guy who did retro 60's stuff like Shadows and played with Kula Shaker before they got famous which is Indie music I guess. 15 years found work with South Americans Condor Passa Andean and tropical music in the evenings. Some people say I sing a bit like Paul Simon.
