I am an acoustic rocker whose into most kinds of music from Motorhead to Mozart. I am a vegetarian who loves to concoct my own recipes. The Red Hot Chilli Peppers is a good way of describing my favourite spice. My favourite drink is Guinness, but will try anything. My favourite sport is football (soccer) followed closely by rugby but I will watch most types, and sometimes even go to the golf course to play.
I love performing live music, whether its acoustic or electric. Rocking out on the bass is my forte. My band The Spoken X have released 'Wild Child', our first album. Go to http://www.thespokenx.com for more info.

Peter Paul Parker
Peter was born in Kingston upon Thames, Surrey and is the second youngest of six boys. His first introduction to music was witnessing two of his elder brothers jamming to Glam rock covers with home made polystyrene guitars. Soon enough the polystyrene guitars became real and the second eldest brother Terrey, who had just finished the first european tour with The Rolling Stones as lighting manager, took an interest and recorded an album at home with his two younger brothers. Peter, being artistic and painting from very early age, saw that he would be able to express himself in a different way through music after witnessing his elder brothers endeavours.
Peter picked up the acoustic guitar and jammed along to his brothers music, then moved onto bass guitar finally finding his forte.
Peter found an expression for his grief at losing his parents at early age firstly through the anger of punk, and then through the passion of rock.
Studying bass guitar and musical theory at Basstech in Acton enabled Peter to enhance his natural talent and improve his chances as a gigging musician.
His first big break was playing bass guitar with the original members of Thin Lizzy at a Phil Lynnot tribute gig. This was the springboard for Peter to tour the UK and Europe in various different bands.
While all this was happening, Peter found time to hone his songwriting and production skills to enable him to write a spoken word album with Ted Golder, an American associate, and form the band, The Spoken X. At the same time Peter is continually writing songs with the emotion and passion of his earlier life, Through his experience in production he has also developed an interest in instrumental music of different genres.
Music is his life.
