An experienced writer, I am a creative professional who prides himself on writing engaging text for all purposes: from the simplest tag line and social media post, to press releases, sleeve notes and feature articles for magazines, and published books. Over the years, I have also developed other very useful creative skills that complement my writing and whilst the bulk of my experience has been within the music industry, I have demonstrated that my skill set can also be successfully applied to business sectors as diverse as film and television, yoga, medicine, aerospace and the plumbing trade.
Although I thrive as part of a team, I am equally able to operate from my home office, which is equipped with a high-spec Apple Mac Pro and MacBook Pro. I am proficient in the use of Adobe Creative Cloud applications – particularly InDesign and Photoshop – and other key apps including Microsoft Office.
You will find me friendly, easy-going, quick to understand a brief, and accustomed to working around the clock should a deadline ever demand it. Nothing gives me greater pleasure than delivering the best results.
