ABOUT

I am a songwriter/ composer based in Yorkshire, England. I have my own studio (Glass Planet Studios).

I have worked with Bernie Torme (Ozzy Osbourne, Gillan, Electric Gypsies), Lips, Robb Reiner (Anvil), David Reece (Accept, Bangaloire Choir), Carl Dixon (Coney Hatch, Guess Who, April Wine), Rob Bendelow (Saracen, Moon Chamber), Rob Cottingham (Touchstone, Cairo), Veronica Freeman (Benedictum), Alan Leach (Shed Seven), Mike Uwins (Manuskript), Prud (Bomb Disneyland), Transmission (founder member and chief song-writer), Shattered Earth (song-writer), the Screaming Banshee Aircrew (founder member and song-writer), the Finger-Puppets (founder member and chief song-writer) and Scream Arena (song-writer). I have released various singles. ep's and albums. No Camping, Titanic Verses, Fishnet Messiah albums (SBA). Scream Arena self-titled album (produced by Paul Sabu), Smile/ Angel EP produced by John Spence (FP). I have been featured in many rock and alternative music mags, Kerrang!, Terrorizer, Classic Rock, Meltdown, Powerplay, Fireworks (to name a few) as well as UK radio plays and interviews.

I am looking for a singer/ lyricist to collaborate on some new demo material - Predominantly hard/ heavy rock, prog with a dollop of synth.

The songs are just demos at the moment so the format can be changed and bits can be added/ taken away. Nothing is set in stone.
