Summer of 1995 Chicago Illinois I listen back to a tape recording I made and accidentally discover a guitar arpeggio I created which has been compared many times to a U2 stadium hook. Feeling inspired and in search of a new start I chase this song across The Great North American Plains over Rocky Mountains into San Francisco and “Lucid Dreams” was born.

Wind the clock forward to April 2004 Edinburgh Scotland I perform at finals of the Emergenza battle of the bands. October 2016 I make the finals of Open Mic UK in Airdrie then a few months pass into January 2017 I make it down to the final 14 acts out of 1000 and perform the main stage O2-ABC Glasgow Soundwaves finals to an audience of 2K.

August 2021 I sign with Smash Records Global however management do not deliver on their promise to their artists. Mark S Berry a famous record producer based in Canada who worked with Paul McCartney, Carly Simon and Prince to name a few showed interest in my work and more recently ALMS music publishing which I’m still considering!?

October 2023 Separate ways is released with Lucid Dreams and Red Sky at Night followed up in November 2024 with Thank You for Christmas and The Man in Red gaining traction on Spotify and YouTube. The songs appeared on some Spotify curator's playlists including Radar45/BBC Introducing. I occasionally perform on live radio small music festivals.
