I write mainly retro material with a modern feel, although I use mostly modern technology to record I make use of past vintage production methods in order to give my sound a slightly different feel.. All of my material is written and produced by myself using my own recording facility and although I was born "after" the golden age of Retro music I try and capture as much of the era as possible.. the one thing I try to do however is not get totally lost in the past and I try to add a modern slant via the lyrics and structure of my songs..
I like anything form Elvis to Hot Chip [ Ready for the floor ] to Simone White [ Audi 8 Beep beep song ].. Melody and atmosphere does it for me, if a person can't remember one of my tunes after hearing it a few times I feel I have messed up..
Some of my favourite artists include..
Chris Isaak
Elvis
Billy Idol
A-ha
Rick Nelson
Katie Melua
OMD
Marc Almond
Buddy Holly
The Pet Shop Boys
Roy Orbison
New Order
