His own songs mix quirky observations, strong melodies and memorable choruses, and his performing CV includes reaching the final of an X Factor-style competition at the London Palladium.

His songwriting draws on folk, blues, rock and country, moving between his rocker roots and quieter songs exploring life and its ups and downs.
