I was born 08 February 1977 in Dublin/Ireland.I picked up the guitar when i was 16,influenced by players such as Jimi Hendrix,Slash,Richie Sambora and Eddie Van Halen.
I then spent a few years playing in local bands'Moho Voodoo'and'Kate' with my good friends and had the best time of my life doing so.Around that time i attended 'ballyfermot rock college'where i became more interested in the advanced playing styles of players like Vai and co.
Also at this stage i started to write my own music which transformed my playing and my understanding and appreciation for the power of music in general.
I then recorded my first demo which got me featured on'Guitar 9 Undiscovered' and that really gave me a platform to start meeting and corresponding with all the right people.
At this time i received an endorsement from a Canadian amp company named'Vanous Evolution' but unfortunatly because of the power conversion here the amp buzzed a little too much to make it useable for recording which was a shame because it was an awesome amp.
In 1999 i played on the ever eccentric but genius 'Kim Fowley's' album 'Young Flesh City and the Bad Dog Club'.Check out his website Kim has worked with everyone from the Zappa-Kiss-Van Halen.He is the most interesting and mind opening person anyone could ever hope to meet.He still keeps in touch.
I released my first album 'Heavens Call' last year.It has being selling well and getting some really amazing reviews.
In October of 2003 myself and my band played at Jemfest Uk which was a blast and helped me meet some great people and players like Rob Balducci/Stefan Lindholm/Tony Hernando but especially the incredible Mark Gibson which will now be part of my next album.
Last year i was asked to play on the Shawn Lane Tribute album which was a HHHUGE honour but i didnt have access to a studio at the time.it will be on the new album.In December 2003 i got a guitar endorsement from Sovereign guitars who gave me two beautiful guitars.
Then in February of 2004 i got to play with one of my heroes 'Marty Friedman' in thailand.
I have just got some deals with distribution companies now so im hoping for greater exposure in 2006.
So with my new album on the way and all my new contacts and friends im hoping 2006 will be a productive one for me and my band.
