The pop electronica, guitar and lead bass of 'The Cry'. To the Disco thump of 'Sleeping Partners' To the Rocking twins guitars of 'XL' and the melodic indie rock of 'None of the Above' and the live soul covers of 'The Bridge'
Mixed with an influence of Tamla Motown, Soul. Blues and 70' 80' 90's pop, Disco funk, Indie Rock, heavy rock and American AOR. Alongside my passion for relaxation, Solfeggio healing music, makes my musical influence very wide and varied.

Quantum Energy Healing/Mind Body Relaxation Music/Meditations/Chakranetics
'I was born into a family from a long line of healers, so exploring my healing side has always natural to me. I have studied many aspects of the healing arts, I studied for my Diploma in The Healing Arts at the College of Healing - Malvern UK and Studied for my Diploma in Humanistic counselling with CSCT. Over the years I have taken many courses one being Overtone chanting with the incredible Jill Purce.
I have passionately studied the connection between the mind/body & spirit and healing music since the 1980's. Learning the unique language of the body and sound healing. I am at the present moment embarking on a Phd study of just that.
I have over the years created my own unique way of using sound, colours and the chakra's in meditation, healing and the writing of music, called 'Quantum Energy Healing.' (QEH)
