collaborations

these are works from 1 to 1 lessons and collaborations, i do alot of work with people with learning difficulties and am constantly inspired by them, not in the special people bullshit way, but in that the music we create is great, powerful and expressive, it keeps me focused on my own creativity and gives me ideas too!!


Playboys girls-  by Daniel Wakeford


I have worked with Daniel for the last 2 years, we are midway through his second album, and i enjoy every session we have together.
Daniel comes with his lyrics written out and he then sings his song to me, we then have an hour to create the backing, record vocals and mix the track, its always a mission, especially if he has put a key change in the middle. We initially listened to music he likes to get an appropriate pallet of sounds and styles, but as Daniel puts it he is the pop singer and i am the musician. I hope to work with Daniel forever........TC
