"Hi welcome to my electro world of synth heavy music.

Originally from Middlesbrough I’ve been living in Newcastle for the majority of my life and working as a singer, collaborating with local artists and performing as lead singer in the synth-rock band Sapien Trace. I've organised musical events and performed for over a decade now and finally got the confidence to release my solo material. Through the belief and support of my bandmates and fellow local artists.

My sound is influenced heavily by RnB and electronic artists from Missy Elliott to Daft Punk, Fever Ray to Goldfrapp and amazing groups like Massive Attack.

So far my greatest solo achievement was performing at the second stage for Pride on Tyne a few years ago and more recently setting up a “Musicians Against Homelessness” gig where we raised a lot of money and I got to work alongside some fantastic local electronic artists."
