Hourglass achtungdanThanks for dropping by! I am an aspiring guitarist and songwriter. I have been learning to play on Rocksmith 2014 for just over three years and recently took the leap into writing my own songs. I am delighted and a little nervous about presenting the first song I have written, performed and produced. I am learning all the time but I realise without feedback there is only so far an aspiring artist can go. So I have decided to take action and post my work. I hope you like it, please leave comments good or bad, I'm keen to learn. If you are interested in collaboration I would love to hear from you! The plan is to keep writing until I am good at it, learn, grow and create, Hit subscribe if you are interested in joining me on the journey. Much Love Get involved.

I have been playing for around 20 years in different bands. For the last 5 years, I've been doing a solo show where I fell in love with the art of looping. If you have any questions, requests, or thought about my music please don't be afraid to share them with me.
