In the corner of my living room sits a very nice hi-fi combo. Decent CD player, amplifier, good speakers even a turntable (for those who remember vinyl). I’ve even got a reasonably sized CD collection with some exceptional music by artists big and small. But I’ve been seduced by the wonders of Spotify, Alexa and […]

Over the weekend I reached an incredible 5,000 Facebook friends – thank you each and every one of you. Facebook won’t let you have more than 5,000 friends and so I’ll be switching the page over to a business page and asking you all to follow me if you would be so kind. The reality […]

My next album is starting to take shape. The first 3 songs have now been handed over to my producer Jermaine, the next song just needs a few backing vocals and it will be complete and the song after that is all mapped out ready to record. Like I did with my first album I’m […]

And I make music so I’m rich !!!! Let’s celebrate !!!! Just hang on a minute though. Although acts like BTS, Adele and Taylor Swift might be raking it in (and good luck to them) the fact is that generally speaking musicians have never been worse off, and that situation is only likely to get […]

Last year I released four singles and an album and learnt a whole lot about the way music is marketed and consumed. Back a long time ago when I was considerably younger recording and releasing music was way different. There was no way to realistically record music outside a recording studio and the only way […]

Big tease time !!!! The next single has been delivered to my producer Jermaine Nelson-Williams. There’s no confirmed release date, but hopefully by the end of April. I know the song title but I’m holding that back for now. But, what I can do is give you a sneak preview of part of the artwork. […]

OK so no-one is shooting at me, I’m not going hungry and as far as I know I’m not suffering from anything terminal. But all the same it’s really not been my day. On top of YouTube deciding to block the video that had taken me a couple of hours to prepare Cubase, my DAW […]

There’s a glorious irony in the fact that social media companies like YouTube are impossible to contact. After all the reason they exist is to enhance communication, but not, it seems, if you are the one trying to contact them. Try and find a telephone number for the likes of YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Google and […]
