I grew up with music. Dad played drums, grandfather piano. Mum played Amy Grant and Sandi Patti in the car, my auntie made me mix tapes with Rick Astley and George Michael. At church the pianists impressed me with their skills. Music became my hobby and I consider it one of the loveliest gifts God has given us. These days I keep at the piano and can strum my way through some guitar parts. Like to dabble in the odd composition and occasional bit of production too.
Influences
Mostly pop but anything with melody. I like music that takes time to get under your skin
Favourite moment in the Saddle
I remember The Swell Season Night as a special one
