Started when iIwas 14. Music is in my blood!


What would you say influenced you towards your chosen style of music?

David Bowie would be my biggest influence, closely followed by Queen, Grover Washington Jnr,

Fatback Band, Light of the world, Bob Marley, Dennis Brown, Manifestation, Craftwerk, and Run DMC. There are far too many to mention and it would take a life time to name them all.

It's not open and shut, i ike all dance music as it puts a smile on peoples faces.
