My musical life started much the same as any other, imitating mediocrity. I had the good fortune to meet other musicians who tore away my reliance on playing in the way everyone else expected. I understood then that I wouldn’t need my eyes. Physically reacting to, and evolve sounds spontaneously through the art of listening, means understanding the true magic in music. Making something new that is truly fresh is my only reason to play.

Musicians collaborated with, both live- and in recording environments, include: Kenwyn House (Reef), Jim Shaw (Cranes), Mitch Glover (Kosheen), Gary Shaw (Sherman Robertson + Jimmy Witherspoon) and Ben Baxter (Cranes, Broken Republic).
