I was first introduced to the music of Free and Led Zeppelin at about the age of 13. Their music and voices have influenced me greatly over the years and I never tired of listening to their music.

I started singing from about the age of 16 playing in a local band that I left aged 21 by which time my voice had matured and I had gained much live and studio experience.

I joined 'Sweet Sanity' performing original material but this time singing a soul / blues style that suited my voice a little more. The band enjoyed some success but was moving in a musical direction that I couldn't wear, so having completed a gig at the Orange club in London I bid them farewell. They went on to win a minor record deal but faded away and never went on to achieve what I felt they could have.

I have experienced the north east club circuit and what an experience it was. If nothing else, the club scene provides musicians and performers with an education and exposure to large audiences. Following the gig the bass player informed me that Paul Rodgers sister had been present and gave him a glowing report of my vocal to 'Alright Now'. To say that I was humbled is an under statement and that one moment of praise has meant more to me over the years than anything else.

After a break of 10 years I joined Rebel Company in 2007 and enjoyed playing the local circuit performing songs by Free, Bad Company, and many more. I left Rebel Company in 2009 to join LedFreeCream and I am very much looking forward to playing with the band across the north east region.

Final words of thanks to all of those who have helped shape me and make me what I am, you know who you are and without your support I may never have taken those first steps.
