Bio

Stuart’s interest in music began at school age when he convinced his mum that he \'really\' needed that guitar. He went on to play in several bands when he lived and worked in South London from 1986 to 1998. It was during this time that Stuart embarked upon a musical journey that gave him a solid grounding in songwriting and afforded him the opportunity to work with Billy Kuy (Mike Berry & the Outlaws) and Brian Parker (co-writer of Unit 4+2’s No1 hit “Concrete & Clay”). One of Stuart’s compositions was also reviewed very favourably by Russell Ballard. In mid 1998, Stuart withdrew from the music scene when he emigrated to South Africa and took on the responsibilities of fatherhood and husbandry! In 2000, Stuart returned to the UK (with his family) and set about re-establishing himself as a composer.
