Actor, Model, Singer
About:
I was born in Ballykinlair, Northern Ireland in 1964 whilst My
Father was on active service with the British Army. My family moved back to
England when I was 1, and it was in Essex, aged 11, that i found my love
for creating music. I formed My first band "Kingston", writing originals
with My schoolfriend Robert K. Chapman. The band did
several local gigs over the following years including school functions and a
one off Rock & Roll gig at the "Parkside" public house on My 17th
birthday.
Over the following years, I played lead guitar/ lead vocals for
East London Psychobilly and Rockabilly bands "The Outer Limits" & "The Blue Notes" In My early 20`s I became
more interested in Rock music and joined a local band "First Quarter",
writing original songs, and being their lead vocalist from 1987 - 1989. In
1995 I formed the Rock band "Firmament" writing original tracks, and
performing them at local Venues such as "The Standard Music Venue" (The Royal Standard) in
Walthamstow E17. When this act finally disbanded in 2000, I gathered all
of the recordings that I had taken part in over the years according to
their genre, and now 7 albums are available as free downloads at
Download.com, The Internet Archive & Podsafe Music Network.
I finally made a career change in 2000, joining several television agencies as a background artiste (extra), appearing in many shows such as EastEnders, The Bill, Waking The Dead, etc., (footage on YouTube) before progressing onto featured appearances in Film and Television, usually acting out, small part speaking roles, as a gangster/vilian/prisoner etc, etc.Also, several photographic shoots, television adverts, and idents for Sky Television.
