MY STORY
After lots of on and about, I'm now making a record. The release date is undecided, but I would dare to hope in less than a year.
I started building my name internationally in 2003 when I left home at the age of 17. I got picked up randomly and did one of Dior Hommes campaigns in Autumn/Winter 2003 when I was 18. This led to extensive international travel, and I have since done several more campaigns plus multipl fashion shows in every major fashion city in the world.
Standard suitcase traveller story...I soon started playing quality music in pubs and parties worldwide. As far back as I can remember, music has been my all time passion by far....playing good music to the crowd. To play it to them on CDs and records is one of the better jobs I have had (and there have been many). With a few CDs I've made 3,000 people go mad to Honeycombes - Have I the right.
Other jobs include cycling with newspapers with more dedication than most: 13 km everyday before school for a year and a half. I also worked for Rolls Royce Marine off and on from the age of 14 to 16, helping make stearing gears for big ships. Having studied at mechanical school for two years, I worked on my first ship yard before the age of 19. In the small community I'm from, we have a great industry that makes large ships (most of them linked with the oil industry). I've worked on 4 of the shipyards around. One of them in particular I have been with over the past two years as I am able to leave and return as I please.
While in mechanical school, I began playing music and singing myself. Two months after I took up practicing guitar, I had a quality band together with my childhood friend Hans. We played about about 50 live shows in pubs and all sorts of events through 2001-2002. We worked with material from Jimi Hendrix, Pixies, Weezer and lots of good blues, before I started exploring wider circles.
Now I've had enough and I am joining again with Hans. We have found some skilled musicians to go around with and gathering a nice crowd. So, for me to start singing a bit looks like a natural progression.
