My life completely revolves around music and my name may never be seen in lights but that is of no matter because i will work with what i love and to this end i will succeed''. SOUND ENGINEER I have been involved in four recording studio's two of which i own or have a share of one of which is in the UK and the other the US. I have worked with various artist's from different genre's of music including rap, rock, metal, acoustic, and gospel. I have also worked in talk over sessions and theatre narration recording, also have had to add music to client's lyrics, and create tracks for small films and documentaries one being a fashion shoot that was being used around Europe. Live sound has been one of my main incomes for the last 3 years mainly for underground bands and promotion companies. TEACHER I started teaching at the arts collective at Madcap Wolverton about three years ago. It started as a bit of a fluke when i discovered i was able to connect with the less confident and was able to get them to try things in music they would never of dreamt of doing. I was encouraged by the musician in residence there Steve McDaniel ( Founder of KIK MUSIC) to carry on as i had not realised at the time i was the person training them on the usage of the studio with guidance also from Gawaine when he could be there, another engineer. It culminated in the interest of the Open University on how our teaching methods were producing results and they went on to produce a video of us for training purposes, Also i give private tuition on acoustic and electric guitar. The arts collective sadly came to an end and at present i am a tutor for Milton Keynes College working in one of her Majesty's H.M.P establishments, This entails classes or one to one tuition of inmates in the Education Centre interested in practical and music technology. COMMUNITY PROJECTS Were run in the main for the under nineteen's who came from disadvantaged backgrounds, ( YOUNG PEOPLE FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE). The idea was to give them some basic training before encouraging them to go on to produce there own music either by instrument or technology, Composing the material and then to record the tracks. Each course ended with a performance at various venues. They had achieved their set goal and some of the more determined went on to various bands or college courses. MUSICIAN I have played with many bands and also done plenty of session work. I was also in a function band that done quite well performing at various venues. This actually helped pay my way through college, But after a while i had come to a wall with my music and something had to give so i left so i could concentrate more on my own music. After getting a few songs composed i started a duo with one of my tutors which proved to be very popular playing a mixture of original and cover songs culminating in us being the support group to one of my favourite groups Dan Saul. But because of conflicting work schedules we had to bring it to an end. Through Myspace i am able to have two of my songs released on an American Compilation album and have had some of my music showcased on international pod casts and radio. Currently i am working with various musicians/ session players on my own compositions working in my studio. I have also just finished my tour in America and now am back home working on the release of a track for great Ormond street children's hospital called Christmas day. |
