Coming second in both last years 'John Lennon Songwriting Competition' (rock cat') and this years 'UK Songwriting Competition' (rock cat'), I am a singer/songwriter who looks for beauty in the ugly and quirkiness in the humdrum.
I write songs about everything: your regular venus-flytrap; believe melody can save lost souls, and
a perfect hook = a perfect life . . . eg. mine.
My strengths are my melodies and above all my lyrics which set me apart from the rest.
Inspired by an eclectic mix of influences usually acoustic tinged somewhere along the line. Ive played for the last three years til recently, in the central London area with 'Geeky' a band I fronted and cofounded, and can work a crowd pretty well these days.
Sound? Id say a 70s acoustic/witty/Harley/Cash/Jeff Buckly/Bowie/Bolan. It really depends on the song in hand though obviously.
