I've been composing since I was a kid, my mum tells me stuff I don't remember about me picking up an accordian aged 2 and playing the grand old duke of york or something. I had piano lessons but hated them, I drove the teachers nuts because I wouldn't read the dots but would play the tunes back to them by ear. I gave up lessons aged 8 and went on to learn guitar by myself. At high school I realised that I wanted to compose and spent all my spare lunch breaks in the music room's back room. I went on to Coventry Universtiy to study Composition where I graduated in 2001. Since then I have worked for the BBC, Universal, Gems TV, Zoom Entertainments and run my own rehearsal rooms in Redditch, England where I learned music technology and programming. Now I live in Toronto with my wife where I do whatever is necessary to be as noisy as possible,
