'Having been a Queen fan for over twenty five years, getting the oportunity to join Stone Cold Queen was a dream come true. I taught myself how to play the bass at school as nobody else wanted to learn it, and played in various school bands. As the years went on, I formed or joined various covers bands, the most successful being the popular North London band, Hamsterjam. I played at several local college productions and also turned my hand to writing and recording several tracks in the band Cadence.'
'As nothing came to my writing and recording career in music I had to go out and get a proper job, but still played bass as a hobby and then got involved in the Tribute side of the business. I joined a tribute band for Pearl Jam called ‘Friends of Jeremy’ playing various different venues in London. After a few years the guitarist & myself decided to form a different tribute band for R.E.M., namely ‘The R.E.M. Experience’, who successfully performed in theatres and festivals around the country for several years before unfortunately separating for various reasons.'
'It was from here that I was able to join Stone Cold Queen and am really enjoying performing to large, enthusiastic crowds, and really hope it continues for many years to come.'
