"Music has been a constant presence in my life since a very early age, be it rifling through my father's record collection or listening to my own 7\" vinyls, gathered each week from a supply of white labels and ex-radio station stock that somehow found its way to the local paper shop! The influence of my father's collection and that of my elder brother helped to form an early identity with the alternative side of the indie music scene in the late 80s/ early 90s, bands such as The Wonder Stuff, Ned's Atomic Dustbin, Half Man Half Biscuit, Manic Street Preachers, Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine and The Cure were the staple diet of my High School years.

Then, out of the blue a ticket for Download 2009 arrived, courtesy of my sister, and the spark was re-ignited, well it was more of an explosion than a re-ignition! Music was now back at Number 1! I immediately began to write about Download and other shows i'd attended on my personal blog, where my writing style caught the eye of the Music Editor at OneMetal, Mark Wrigley. For 12 months I happily wrote for both OneMetal and my own blog until the itch to take it to the next stage was too great.
