Soul, Funk, and Beauty - you'll find all three throughout this album, in a way that starts your feet tapping. 

I tried to completely shed any ego in this work, and wanted to just make everything feel right. These songs all have personal meaning to me and the album follows a story, but rather than pull listeners through that, I'm just hopeful that my songs will conjure the feelings and emotions to the listener in a good way. I want this album to elevate peoples moods as it does mine.

Frank's Bitches

With so many distractions these days, when life get's busy it can be hard to make the people that are most important to us realise how high they are on our list. This song is a statement to a loved one that while I often have many things competing for my time and attention, if it were put to me to choose just one thing it would always be them.

If I Had To Choose (feat. Michael Johnson)

This instrumental suspense funk thriller is about a band who uses their act to hit their corrupt managers casino... I believe the music suits any great heist movie montage though, hope you enjoy!

Oceans Five

This zeppelin style groove came to me whist rushing home from work one day, but could work equally well in any great car chase scene! This project turned into a huge collaboration and I couldn't have done it without the help of some very talented musicians. Enjoy!

Beep Beep feat. Michelle Saint-Georges, Michael Johnson, Nick Dunham, Susan Yuill

My slow blues number. Inspired by a stunning performance I saw of Grace Bowers.

Yours Bluely

This busy bass line came to me ironically after being told my basslines were too busy ha. Bass, guitar and midi strings recorded by myself, drums and horn sections all cut from the Digit Music 'Fresh as Funk' sample pack.

The Bronté Disco Strut

The ultimate Motown Movie Heist Montage, hope you enjoy!

Motown Showdown

Kintsugi, the Japanese craft of repairing broken pottery with a gold resin, turning breakage into new beauty. The vintage piano and strings make me think of this concept as a motivational metaphor for those times when we perhaps feel a bit broken ourselves, offering an optimistic viewpoint on paths forward from here.

Kintsugi

An ethereal fusion of genre's and decades.

Confide And Seek

Eternally Yours

Featuring the phenomenal Dominic Stayne on Double Bass, this remastered track from my archives paints a picture of sunset memories with those special to us. It makes me think of the time spent at Langkawi Island with my wife. One day we'll have a beach holiday again!

Chillin’ With You Feat. Dominic Stayne

Kickin' it old school with Digit Music's funk drums and Bandlabs Golden Era Hip Hop Vocals. The guitars, bass and piano were written and recorded by me and inspired by Beck’s Odelay Album.

Brooklyn Hop feat. Digit Music

The Funk? This started out as a wee chromatic bassline in my head and evolved into this funk explosion, get some!

Beatroot

FUNK Supreme. I was on a mission to create the most epic piece of funk music I could imagine. I'm pretty much always on that mission ha. 
This one WILL get you moving, I promise.

Funk Royale

A brief, pleasant and inconsequential encounter between modern humans, starting (naturally) with complimenting each other's shackets. Featuring the elusive Helen Carter on Organ - https://soundcloud.com/saxy-ms-h

This track was heavily inspired by Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio - https://open.spotify.com/artist/7owr01EP6gwCYjnfQtPKy8?si=CG_apgeiTIa0X44ornHrgw

Nice Shacket feat. Helen Carter
