Behind the Kit.
I am lucky enough to have played on a variety of the West Midlands Music Scene's stages over the years, from Worcester to Birmingham and multiple venues in-between.
My first musical endeavour was as part of a metal duo titled "Man Made Hell" which released three tracks recorded with Diamond Head Engineer: Jay Shredder, before releasing self produced work. As part of this band we played over 50 shows in multiple venues spanning the west midlands, and is where I cut my teeth in the world of drumming.
Some of my biggest successes came from my time in the Birmingham-based rock band "When We're Dead" (FKA Y!kes) where we released a steady stream of singles and performed in one of the most popular alternative venues in the UK, not only once, but twice! Most notably of which, supporting National rock legends "Trash Boat" on the Birmingham date of their UK tour which ended up selling out the roughly 600 capacity venue.
