Influences: 'The Holy Trinity'-Sir Cliff Richard: I pity all those who've dismissed this true giant as purely M.O.R. pap, he's been at the top of his profession for over 50 years, and shows little, if any, signs of slowing down. When recently seeing him on his last tour, I witnessed a visual purely fluent with energy and a voice that rivals any past or present (with the exception being my personal fave-Roy Orbison) his is a presentation of genuine professionalism, and he remains a true inspiration.
Bruce Springsteen: PASSION! The written word is his slave as he can dictate its direction and present it in a way no other could ever imagine. I've never seen him not provide all he possibly can, his regiment of performance is simply without peer. Scott Walker: He to me, is beyond the written word, I stand in awe of his every musical motion, his works from The Walkers to the present, remain light years ahead of all else, I've been more than influenced by this 'gentleman', I've been 'branded', and to be amongst those who equally find solace in his 'Genius', I am graciously honoured.

Aspirations: To enlighten those who cower from life's obstacles, and find my 'Chelseas' forever strolling the pavement which blankets the soil of the United Kingdom.
Self analysis: my songs are written for those who walk amongst the shadows fearing not truth, but deception. I'd rather explore the depths of despair and conqueor, than accept a fate assumed rather than challenged.
Credo: "The greatest rewards are those which are hardest to achieve"-'The Duke of Dark'
Oh yeah, Drugs?, don't bother, music's the high (if not, you're doing something wrong!).
