I’m from the North East of England, but these days I shine my shoes in New York City. I’ve done all sorts to get by, from factory hand to night porter, steelworker to salesman. I even got myself a degree and more often than not, I clocked in on time.
I’ve been called scum, I’ve been called adorable and somewhere in between is probably where I land. Through all the drudgery I’ve kept going; writing and recording songs, putting out records, touring around the world, taking photographs, painting and meeting a varied cast of characters along the way.
Life’s never been easy, but it’s never been boring.
