I've being a songwriter for around 15 years and have undergone many musical forms to get to this point now....
A signature sound of down-to-earth, quirky guitar-pop is proving to appeal to an extremely broad market, with gigs attracting audiences of all ages and musical tastes. I would describe my music as a fuse of music diverse as influences of ‘Stevie Wonder', ‘Bryan Adams’ and 80s bands such as 'Aztec Camera' and 'Prefab Sprout' - easy-on-the-ear pop-rock!
I just love to write a great melody or song that will stick with you, with influences ranging from artists as diverse as Incubus to Damien Rice – Metallica to Ryan Adams – Abba to Jimmy Eat World. It doesn’t really matter where we all come from musically. It’s the songs we can relate to and leave us smiling with joy or sadness that we remember. The messages can be the same whichever genre you listen to or prefer – so why restrict yourself to any particular kind of delivery – A great song is a great song whether it’s Motorhead or Simon and Garfunkel.
Enjoy the music

Damon
