This is me. A combination of all my musical explorations, gigs, productions, songwriting, dreams and emotions combined into music. Since I was a kid, I have always wanted to make my own instrumental album. After 9 seasons of being in the "Saturday Night Live" House band, performing with world famous artists, producing major label artists I felt now was the right time to unleash my own world. My world as Pearl Lion.  Look out for the upcoming mini-albums "Light" and "Dark".

I like to play guitar and compose instrumentals and songs. I am also increasingly getting into recording. I like quite a lot of music, especially Jazz, Rock and Blues. I am also in a couple of bands, Southside and the Whites Hill Billies which can occasionally spotted playing in pubs around Stroud in Gloucestershire. I work full time and have two small children so my tracks are not always a polished as I would like as have limited time for my musical endeavours. Soundcloud is exactly the sort of thing I have been looked for both to post my own stuff and listen to others.
I also have tunes out on Spotify, I tunes, and other platforms, search Red West-Boyle.
