Born in London in the 1950s, i happily admit to having been 'lost in music' from first hearing the haunting sound of Hank Marvin's scarlet Stratocaster on 'Apache'. I guess i've been 'hankering' for pop stardom ever since but, in the seventies i chose designing album sleeves to performing and went to work for CBS/Sony as their art director in London.

Having said that, all i really want to do is let people tap their feet, clap their hands and, just maybe, smile in their minds.
