I have been producing tunes since i was 19 when I started I had an Atari ST, a Kawai K1 and a cracked copy of cubase!!! Things have come a long way since then and I love technology. I make many different styles of music and enjoy tweeking and mixing genres. its my hobby and I love it!! it's not all about the money money money!!! I call myself MSTF because of the different types of music I make and the different musicians and like minded people who get involved.

 I spent 10 years in a band called Flipside and we played a lot of festivals, including Glastonbury 3 times and The Main Stage at Bristols notorious Ashton Court festival on the Saturday at about 7pm to a crowd of about 10000 !!! 

I have a varied taste in music and have been brought up on Blues, Jazz, Reggae, Hip Hop, Electro, Pop and many others. All of these have had an influence on my style of music that I produce and sometimes it can be eclectic. I love the process of making a tune and I like involving others. Technology has made it easier to do this and I embrace the technology that is ever evolving at a rapid pace. 
Fundamentally music is made to be listened too and enjoyed, I make music for that reason and if I make anything from it then I plough it straight back into it!!! 

I currently have 5 albums available to buy from iTunes, Juno download, Amazon plus many other sites. links here....
