Music is powerful and that’s what makes it so fascinating to me. It can unite and divide us. It comforts us when we need it the most. It inspires us, motivates us and every song we hear recorded or live makes us feel something.

Exposure to what the world has to offer often requires a little digging – we are monopolised on the usual radio/TV mediums. I’m happy to do the digging and gigging to bring anyone who’s looking a bit of something different ??

Dino – Fear Factory – (he was talking from inside a closet before performing at LAX – drunk)

This Other Eden – various times (as their manager I answered my own questions – funny as fuck)
