Background
Most of my younger days I played football. That was the dream, playing for Hibernian FC as a teenager. Around 18 years old I discovered a defect in my knee and was restricting me from full performance. A doctors consultation led to an operation. blood has stopped flowing throughout the bone in my right knee. The first operation was to drill holes to help blood through again. Somewhat a success then eventually my body had rejected a piece of bone. Long story short I was one of the first in the uk to have a stem cell bone transplant. They took cartilage from my knee and cloned the cells in a lab in Germany for 11 weeks. By that time I fell into depression with no idea what id be doing with my life. Exactly a year after the big op the x rays showed it turned back to bone and the doctors used my results in London to show the speed it grew at.
When I was on crutches during rehab which was 2 months of no weight on my right foot. I began to sing along with sings I grew up with. Music runs in the family but I was told I was tone def. Over time it just appeared my sister said. My dad had small success in 70s never forced me into music as I was good at football. When he found this out he was blown away. I then became a front man in a band in the most Forrest Gump of moments. That then led to writing and playing more guitar (2010) I played my first ever show. 4 years after I came to nashville and never looked back!

LOOKING FOR LOVE
The harder you try to make something work, or force it, more times than not it doesn’t work out. Looking for love is about losing the expectation of a person or a thing that you think you need when in fact there is nothing you need. Love happens for you and not to you, just the way life happens for you and not to you. Let it all flow...

DRIVE BY KISSER
Drive By Kisser is about my love for Tokyo, it’s culture and their love for life. It’s a long distant love relationship with myself & Tokyo but reflecting on anyone that travels any distance for love. You do that when you believe in a love worth investing in. The title inspired by my friend's dog Cash. PINK/RED/GREY was in my mind while I wrote this song.

WILD FOREVER
Sometimes you just want to leave the busy city and escape to the desert. Leaving LA for Joshua Tree and laying under the moon & stars with your favourite person. The freedom of driving out the city with windows down. ORANGE & FIRE SUNSET are the colours I felt in my mind while I wrote this song.

HASTY BOY
Hasty Boy is a season of change from summer to fall. Learning who I am, knowing that I can’t please everyone and that’s ok. Learning to let go just like the seasons do. Open to change and trusting the process in love, friendship and in life. RICH BLUE/GOLD/YELLOW was in my mind during this process
