Bio:

From a young age my main aspiration in life was to be an artist. When I was a boy however, this artist would be better defined as a cartoonist. Drawing was my first passion but sadly, I didn't quite have the knack to draw what i was feeling or what I wanted to say to the standard I wanted too.

After my Parents Divorced and my Mum dated she met a man with a son named Rob. Rob saved my life....well, saved me from being a little Nob anyway.

At the time i was just getting into rock music by the way of the mainstream at the time (Limp Bizcuit and Linkin Park! EEEEUGGH!) but Rob introduced me to a band called Nirvana. It all changed from there!
Rob also played guitar and this lead, naturally, to me picking one up. When i moved to Telford with Mum and Rob's Dad, nights would proceed with us being shouted at after playing along to Nirvana song very loud and screaming our heads off.

After Rob's Dad and my Mum split I moved back to Bromsgrove.

After smoking allot of Ganja through my GCSEs, I just about pulled through them, with enough to be proud of (get this, failed Maths and French when stoned and should have passed them but passed Art when stoned having done virtually no coursework! Go figure!)

After North Bromsgrove High School I moved over the road to NEW College to study Music Technology and quit weed.
At NEW College I met my first real band. The Fluffs* officially formed to fulfill the needs of a recording project, we enjoyed ourselfs and carried on outside.

It didn't last however, and soon after we left NEW College with our National Diplomas we broke up after difficulties with a member.

I then spent a year on the HND at the same college but got board. It was at this Time i started demoing for Accidia and over the summer produced the final recordings and masters for realese in late August 2007.

I am currently studying at Coventry University for BA in E-Music. Basically Music Technology with Web Design included!

Hence....do ya like it?

The Fluffs* are currently working on a reunion, but it's slow going with busy schedules.

More contributors soon!
