I've been singing longer than I've been walking, so music and performing has always been a big part of my life. At the age of 16 I starting experimenting with guitar designs, and built my first 'traveller guitar' to take on my big OE. Since then I've built four guitars including Lola, whose back is being shaped in my profile picture. She remains my main gigging instrument (since 2011) and the closest thing I have to a child.

Upcycling, fixing, making, and remaking things is a favourite hobby, pass-time, and mental health driver for me. I build furniture, guitars, and other household items out of mostly timber and scrap metal.
