Welcome to my website!

Whatever genre of music you play or like – I hope my music, (most of it written by commission) will resonate and inspire you. You will discover that I started my journey as a drummer/percussionist, then I worked my up into writing and composing music. My music is written from my heart and soul to convey messages based on feelings evoked by loss; sadness: happiness; about animals and even some comedy songs.

I hope this website will inspire you to follow the same path as me, even through the hard times which are bound to happen – nothing is easy! Remember, like me, you must take some risks on your journey. No matter what the outcome will be, never ever give up.

Don’t forget to sign up to my mailing list for a lot more info and exclusives. I sincerely hope to meet you in person some day when you can ask me for any help or advice you may want. I will try to give my best answer and advise where I possible can.

Enjoy,
