Composing &
​Recording

Picture
Composing and recording my own music has been a real passion of mine. Simple Major Simple Minor  and Fat Samba are CDs which I released under my own name. These projects are primarily original music. 
I have been recording live performances at the Deer Head Inn and the Lafayette Bar for Deer Head and Vectordisc records over the past few years.
