Profile Information

Location:: Croatia

About:: Born in the UK to an Irish mum and an English Dad in 1977. Moved to Ireland at 14, bought my first guitar at 15 and got really into heavy metal for a while - had all that tapping shit down until I realised it was a pile of shite!

Then I found some crazy soul and funk records in my mums collection and got hooked. Lot of early Santana, Stevie Wonder, Herbie Hancock, The Fatback Band. Then got given 'Mulligan meets Monk' by my Grandmother who found it on top of somebody's wardrobe, and got bit by the Jazz bug bigtime.

Whilst living in Dublin, around 1998, I attended a MIDI workshop, just as a favour to a friend, and got blown away by what you could do with a PC and a sampler. Got myself kitted out with an Akai S950 and a PC.

After a while, got bored with Dublin and moved to Amsterdam in 2001 - a wicked place to live - still got big love for it. Then came on a holiday to Croatia in 2003 and fell in love with the place so stayed. My Irish skin aint too happy though...

I've tried a lot of different gear & loads of different software, but now pretty much settled on Cubase, Fruityloops, an MPC1000, my Rhodes, my bass, guitar, and my latest toy - a Hohner D6 clavinet. Ooooh yeah! Plus all those old stomp boxes I bought in my guitaring days are coming in handy now...

All In A Day - Stee Downes - Produced by Yours Truly

I've spent the last while producing a new album by Stee Downes. It'll be out on Sonar Kollektiv on October 20th, and it's titled 'All in a day'. All instruments were played by myself and Stee, and I did the final mixdowns too, which was a first for me so I learnt a hell of a lot from it! If you want to find out more about it, head over to Stee's m… Continue
