Lives Lost, Lessons Learned
These songs were written and recorded over a ten year period, with the help of many talented people, musicians, songwriters and producers. They were recorded in a variety of studios, bedrooms and houses between Birmingham, London and Los Angeles. Little money exchanged hands and most were recorded and produced out of a passion for music and a desire to turn a small ember into a brilliant burning light. Each small ember would not have even existed without inspiration from many more beautiful people I have had the pleasure to encounter up to this point in my life. I cannot thank everyone here - there are too many, those of you that have touched me know who you are and I am hugely gratefull for the influence you have had on my life and these songs. Each song has its own reason for being and I hope you enjoy the journey as much as I have enjoyed travelling it.
