mmmn 4 months since my last entry... a lot has happened... there was a lot of stagnancy for a while with my music. I guess the universe needed me to learn some lessons and go through some intense growth and refining... now its all starting to move forward in nice ways.. saying that tho Mercury is going retrograde in the next week so things could get a bit topsy turvy as it usually does... but it usually always ends up with growth and the transcendence of limitations so the uphill can be worth it...
The latest news is that I'm now a resident dj at the Inspiral Lounge in Camden high street... and my CD the Mantra Temple is going to be pressed and distributed by Changing World Records/Arabesque on the Entropica label... so watch out for that coming soon... A website for downloads and selling my own music direct is also in process so thats getting exciting... Solar Quest's album Sola/Luna has also been released and I am a featured vocalist on it..
My track "In Peace We Come" has been used for the Purple magazine compilation in the States... and I may be featured in their Spring edition with an interview...
I've been doing quite a bit of dj work at parties.. the new year kicked off with Acid Monkey which was one helluva party... I sang with Solarquests live set and have to say it kicked arse with the help of a really avin it bunch of gorgeous psychedelic lovelies.... and then went into a dj set and spun some electro which rocked the crowd n I loved every minute of it...
I'm working away on some new tunes.... and working to refine some older material... so it looks like I'll be set for releasing some other albums this year... 2008 looks like a year full of promise and abundant possibilities... I will be doing more live vocals with SolarQuest in the coming months and some summer festivals.... and in the meantime - I'm preparing my spaceship to play live sets ... so watch this space..
Love delight n cosmic blessings to you all

Its been a while since my last entry.. Moved house, big changes on all levels, its been intense, particularly emotionally etc and learning to let go and trust. This album is a divine manifestation of my higher purpose therefore the universe has to strip down my ego on all levels in order for the true essence of what its truly about to shine through. So stay tuned. But the mixes are really coming together.
the next step really is to expand my studio gear and I'm putting that out to the Universe...
I'm going to be interviewed in Purple Magazines fall edition so watch out for that. I'll be posting it on my myspace page and here as well.
I've also started playing bass again with the cosmic jam band and we are playing at the psychedelic circus at Jack's club in London bridge.
I've also finished a CD called Mantra Temple, which is ideal for people who work with Mantra's and its great for practisiing Yoga with as well. It will be up for sale on this site very shortly.
Blessings and love

Purple mazazine have just asked if they could use my photo in their premier Spring edition with links to my web pages. Its a great seed to plant out there in the world. Hopefully opening a door for more people to discover my sounds..

Well i'm still crafting away in my studio, but I'm getting very excited about the way the mixes are evolving. Its a huge undertaking to make my own album, but I'm not gonna rush it, 3 years in the making so far and a lifetime of challenges and musical and spiritual growth are being poured into the album. I'm just letting the Universe guide my steps and it will be ready when its ready.
I'm looking forward to the point where I can get out and play live again but feel its really important to define my art with some finished products...
