PRODUCED BY JOHN HOUGH & JOANNE COLLINS

Originally from Tipperary town. A Singer/songwriter with a difference, utilizing a loop station to create multi layered guitars, vocals and live percussion.... the guitar is the only instrument that accompanies this powerful, husky voice.

Finding his sound has been a journey of ups and downs and now he finally feels that he is saying what he wants to say, how he wants to say it. Hopefully speaking to you on every level, given the depth of emotion and life experience poured into it. Only recently lead to the Loop station, it has been a massive awakening and realisation for him that only added to his already distinct sound, Heavily influenced by his roots in post hardcore and rock... this acoustic blend of melodic and intricate guitar in the forefront and dark, swelling rythm is captivating and original.

He has just finished recording his 1st studio E.p. and has been gigging relentlessly promoting it, you are sure to be seeing him soon, in whatever part of the country you reside.
