I've always been into music as far back as I can remember. The first songs I remember loving were those off the Blues Brothers. However it was the Bill and Ted films that got me really interested into the guitar from the age of nine. I studied music at Perth college in Scotland for a year about 2001/2002 and then studied at BIMM in Brighton for a year in 2004. I think one of the main things that I got from both music courses was being introduced to styles and players I had not seen before. Whilst living in Brighton for 3 years however I got mugged and in the process ended up with a fractured skull with brain damage. Not the best thing that's ever happened I can tell you! So I moved back up to Scotland to recoup with my family as Brighton was way too much of a busy place for someone with post-traumatic stress. Luckily though about August last year, I bumped into an old mate from Perth college(a fellow guitarist), Dave and we started jamming and doing open-mic nights. The open-mic nights were not only milestones for my slow recovery but we also got our drummer and bass player through them. So now to present I have a band called Coma-Toast and have just started gigging since March 2008, it's been a rough past year but things are definetely on the up!
