His work is inspired by an eclectic and eccentric interest in original music. As an artist his compass is set somewhere between the suburban streets of childhood where sullen and monotonous lives are romanticised by the escapist, and the sticky hardwood dancefloors of bandrooms where everyone dances with anyone in celebration of the traditions of soul, folk and rock n roll.
