Born in Hertfordshire in November in the early 70s.
As a kid I always loved singing, playing music and drawing and painting, and raiding my Mum's wardrobe to create 'interesting' emsembles.
I learnt to sing properly at primary school choir & was the lead in school musicals. I learnt the recorder too.
At secondary school I learnt the flute & still play now.
I got seriously into rock music when I became a teenager, learnt the bass guitar, and also guitar and went to many, many gigs. I played my bass at full whack through my amp & when I wasn't doing that, played all my records through it! this still continues today! I was in several bands.
After A levels (Art, German & French) I did my Art Foundation course & met more artists, musicians and friends. I continued playing in bands.
I did a year of HND Graphics, but the course was not arty farty enought so ended up a few years later, after doing proper jobs, going to do a Fashion & Textiles degree. In the biz
