Here is a short bio of my music career to date. 1985-1990: Nick Michaels who formed a band called “Bethnal” and has worked with “The Who.” We have recorded many songs together, such as “Stupid Club.” 1985-1990: Yoram Mark-Reich who formed a band called “Killer” in Israel and had a big hit with a song called “I want to be President.” We have co-written songs such as “Love or Bust” and “Base Jumping” 1985-1990: John O’Donnell from Hong Kong played in bands like “China Doll” and “Xian” and had a number of underground hits. We have co-written songs such as “Telephone Lover.” 1990-1992: Ian Phillips who played in a band called “Hands on Heads,” which had the same management as “Bros.” We have co-written songs such as “Sanctuary.” 1992-1994: Jules Elkan who has worked with singers like Sonique and was involved on the recording side with the hit “Sweet like Chocolate.” Amongst other songs, he produced “On Line Romance” for me. 2002-To date: Taly Koren who has had a recent chart success in Korea. A song we co-wrote entitled “Two Kisses on my Cheek” appears on her new album and has been played on Radio 2. 2002-2010: Arnaud Robin has played in bands in his native France. We co-wrote the song “Tierra del Fuego.” 2006: Nick Michaels (see above) who runs Mews Productions with Phil Curran produced and recorded “A List Celebrity.” Maria, the singer, sang backing vocals on the first No.1 hit of the Spice Girls.” Radio:  Interviewed on radio stations such as BBC 5 Live and GLR with my song “On Line Romance.” It caused quite a stir as it was written about the first Trans Atlantic wedding where the couple had never previously met before exchanging vows. I was interviewed on Spectrum Radio and the song “Free Loading Woman” from my album “Controversial” was played by the station on several occasions. More recently I have concentrated on writing lyrics and co-write with composers world wide and especially in the UK and USA. These include Jim Birmingham who is a comedian/musician and Connie Garrard who is a Kate Bush impersonator aka Cat Bush. We co-wrote “Stockings & Suspenders” which was published by Quest Worldwide.
