Established as an artist 20 years ago, this electro wizard from England uses entirely synthesizers and drum machines to create uplifting, thoughtful, soulful, accessible electronic pop music.

The music combines the classic sounds from the early 80’s synth pop scene with today’s current electro revival to form a unique melodic pop sound with depth.

His influences come from great bands such as Depeche Mode, Kraftwerk, Human League, Goldfrapp and Erasure. He has an admiration for Nik Kershaw’s song writing skills and a passion for all of Vince Clarke’s music and style of musical arrangements.

He has successfully released three albums between 2010 and 2013 which featured well crafted electronic pop songs offering catchy electro anthems mixed with moody melodic pop. Each continued to show his development as a songwriter. These releases gained fans throughout the world due to increased exposure on the internet on sites such as Facebook and Soundcloud. Each album is also available on iTunes, Spotify and other online retailers.

He has also been a successful remix artist over this period gaining recognition with remixes officially released for other electronic acts such as Erasure, Andy Bell, Dancing with Ruby, Destination & Haberdashery

'Lights For A Dark City' released in December 2015 offers a more mature and personal journey in his electronic pop world and once again is a triumph in shimmering brooding electronic pop. Featuring 11 new songs with various tempos and moods but all with a unique twist to tug at your heart strings or make you leap with joy.
