'Strangeness led us here...’
 The song came to be through a series of dream like scenes, words and frequencies on the air.  A tapestry of undulating harmonies, hums, Phoebe Coco’s voice and three pianos are woven together co-produced with Marc Makavov and mixed by Grammy Award winning Eduardo De Le Paz.

I’m an alternative guitarist/composer and vocalist originally from Camden, London.

Currently, I’m incorporating Nu Jazz/Neo-soul/Post-rock elements into my music and have been writing and recording new material autonomously.

I’ve recently been fully composing, recording and mixing my own music. All guitar playing and singing is live, whilst the rest of the arrangements are recorded by quantising regions of MIDI instruments. No built-in loops are used.

Having previously been a guitarist/singer/songwriter for several years writing and performing solo at gigs around London including being featured at the Turning Point festival at the Roundhouse in 2010, I decided to make a transition from gigging and concentrate on recording by exploring other genres of music. I’ve studied and taken inspiration from the piano/keyboard playing of Jazz artists like Chick Corea, McCoy Tyner and Donald Fagen and the guitar touch and tonality of guitarists such as, but not limited to, Al Di Meola, Carlos Alomar, Steely Dan’s regular session guitarists, Elliot Randall and Larry Carlton, and David Gilmour from Pink Floyd.
The recent emergence of alternative jazz artists such as 7th Sense, Alfa Mist, Yussef Dayes and the Jazz Refreshed movement have also served as inspiration, as do the genres of dub, EDM and the London jazz scene.

I found jazz, in particular, an interesting genre to explore, and furthermore, a not so familiar territory of music I could take the challenge in creating.

Wow, hadn't realised what a journey SoundCloud would take me on.  After many years of passive listening to music I've dieted on a variety of tastes. My appetite for new sounds is undiminished and SC provides plenty of food. I am not a musician and have only recently started to listen positively to the sounds. My early years began listening to music from ABC, The Beatles, The Carpenters Dire Straits Eagles Fleetwood Mac Genesis Elton John Led Zeppelin Gilbert O'Sullivan Rod Stewart Supertramp Tangerine Dream Vangelis The Who and many more.
If you can't spot a trend in my current likes it may be because it is diverse. I love listening to all my playlists which contain tracks that I like and if you like any of the music you must thank the artists not me.
