I'm a male lead vocalist specialising in power and progressive metal with 25+ years of studio, live,and touring experience. Looking for a band to continue doing what i love the most.
I have worked with many well known artists through the years in the metal and rock scene, and shared stages with likes of Onslaught, Wolf, and the legendary Carmine Appice to name but a few.
I first started singing with the dark wave band Nightshade where we recorded a self titled 5 track EP, and played more than a few live shows in and around London and performing at the Camden Underworld. After that, I joined a five piece originals hard rock/metal covers band called Draconis who played regular live shows in venues around SE London, and later going on to record a single called '4skin' for an unsigned bands compilation called 'Shards' which was released by the company Rock Matrix. Around a year after parting ways with Draconis, I joined the power metal band Guardians of Andromeda (featuring machine head drummer Matt Alston) who were, at the time signed to Helveticon Records. We went on to record a full studio album called 'Light Years From Destiny' that received radio play and was featured on BBC Originals. The album received critical acclaim in 'Rock Power' magazine and other metal publications, even garnering an album of the week commendation on the metal radio show 'Breakfast In America'. The band then embarked on a tour of the uk to promote the album. As well as this, I took on lead vocal duties in the hard rock/metal covers band Brotherhood of Beards, also joining the Hertfordshire based NWOBHM band 'Snake Eyes' as a lead vocalist. I have been on hiatus for around 10 or so years to concentrate on family, but have kept in practice by attending open mic nights and karaoke sessions. I feel that I'm now ready to once again return to the music scene.
I have been described as sound like a cross between Robert Plant and Bruce Dickinson, and have even been compared to Helloweens Michael Kiske on occasion. But listen to the material I helped create and judge for yourselves.
I am no stranger to stage management and music event promotion and I also write lyrics.

I look forward to you guys getting in touch for any rock covers or originals bands.
