Brief Biography


Although coming from a Cathedral Choir & classical background, I have worked mainly for the pop industry, first of all as a session musician, then as a recording engineer in commercial studios, and finally as a record producer. I co-wrote & produced hit singles & albums for Betty Boo & Definition of Sound. Since then I have found radio work far more satisfying.
