I remember watching my father play the piano for hours on end. He would sit me down, play me a song and then teach me how the chords, melodies and rhythms came together. I would learn everything by ear focusing purely on what felt right, which harmonies worked best and what feelings these combinations created. These early experiences gave me an ear and passion for all things 'music', I was compelled by how music and sound affects the way in which we communicate with both ourselves and others. I started to perform at every available opportunity and began to note down my ideas, recording them onto an early version of Cubase using an ancient PC and a bunch of second hand audio equipment.
