About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To make a great house album

ABOUT ME

Music is my greatest joy in life I am a bit of an anorak and will happily talk about it for hours. My interests revolve around making music, minimal techno and electro house, playing the piano guitar and writing lyrics.

I am also very into the paranormal, conspiracy theories and urban myths.

I’m interested in classic literature and philosophy; especially the writings of Nietzsche.

I enjoy going to gigs clubbing and festivals although I find myself more apathetic about going out these days and ofcourse love travel.

I'm a keen white water rafter though I haven't indulged in my hobby for a little while now.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live.
