ABOUT

I've given 20 years of my life to music, and I had an opportunity with a reggae record label. Ended up breaking both my hands and that was the end of that, still have a great relationship with the record label, there just waiting for me to form a band...(cough cough). To put it simply there's been a fire burning in my soul and its music. It's what I was born to do.
