I started my musical journey in England. Getting behind a drum kit was a fascinating experience. I later discovered my true talent was selling music.

After promoting bands in local pubs I moved to London and joined Permanent Artistes (also record label of the infamous late John Martyn). I then worked at the Bron Agency (owned by the legendary late Gerry Bron). As a booking agent I arranged tours for Gary Numan, Badlands, Dave Hole, Then Jericho, Lloyd Langton, Wishbone Ash and others. I was fortunate enough to be a part of many music promotions and studio sessions along the way.

I later moved to Seattle and pursued drumming with the garage pop band Wonderlux. We released a CD entitled “A Very Nervous Boy” on flameproofmusic. The CD had moderate success and the band lasted a few years in the Seattle scene. Bands disband, lives change, everyone moves on…I adopted the flameproofmusic monicker.

Sometime later flameproofmusic relaunched as I joined forces with fellow Seattle & Texas natives Transient Songs and got behind the kit again. During this time I also did music promotion for; Gary Reynolds, Transient Songs and The Pyramid Ship.

Good times were had by all but it was time for me to lead the music direction in terms of songwriting, mixing and producing.

The project electric85 and FLAMEPROOFMUSIC is an evolution of all those previous experiences as I actively write and produce music along with promoting artists.
