My journey as a drummer began at the age of 13. I was gifted a forest green Drum World kit as a birthday present. I learned by ear from very early on and started to build my repertoire by listening to my favourite artists. I was influenced early on by Iron Maiden and Alice Cooper etc. Over the years my taste has changed and I take my greatest influences from: Jussi 69, Jess Margera, Johnny Kelly, Derek Grant and Adrian Erlandsson, to name a few. I am currently in a 3-piece Pop Punk/Punk Rock band called Ignitemares, consisting of Kay on vocals and guitar, Matt on vocals and Bass and myself. We are based is South West Wales and have played gigs up and down the UK. Notable venues such as Clwb Ifor Bach, Fuel and the Cardiff Millenium Centre and we have supported acts such as The Meffs, Millie Manders and the Shutup and Worriers. We have just sent the files away to our audio engineer in Sweden to begin the mixing and mastering of our upcoming 3 EPs.
Quotes and Testimonial
A band that continues to improve, ‘San Junipero’ is set to propel them to even greater heights. Fabulous in all respects. Keep doing what you’re doing. Outstanding. 10/10″ – Internet Music Showcase “At once touching and uplifting, tinged with the bittersweet melancholy of lost youth, San Junipero is a soaring triumph of pop-punk songwriting perfection.” – Personal Punk https://personalpunk.wordpress.com/2021/03/17/ignitemares-san-junipero-digital-track-smash-mouse-records/
