Founder and CEO at Royale Music Group & NFT Music Ventures

Consultant to many a recovering Thieving Capitalist, former Money Grabbing Brigands and assorted financial Ne’er-do-wells but loveable folk really and also former Rock 'n Roll Musician come Hell-raiser gone straight (OK well almost). If you're reading the above and the faintest flicker of a smile has crossed your lips then you'll understand that life is very rarely as it seems and it is extremely likely that you'll appreciate a slightly more rounded and grounded personality than most. If not........ it's a big wide world and I'm sure you'll find others better suited to hang out with. Loving every day and trying (like a whole host of others) to get this great big Industry we love (Music and Ents) back up and running again. Sleeping Elephant in the room? It's the Next Generation folks...the kids and stars of tomorrow who if we're not careful will get forgotten about. It's not only 1-2 years we've lost but could be the opportunities of an entire generation. The only barrier to getting into this great big business we love should be talent not whether your Parents are rich enough to bankrolll you!! Nuff said. Oh you want more? Oh well here goes..... I specialise in asking the questions that no one else wants to ask and then thinking "out of the box" solutions when the answer no one wanted to hear eventually materialises. When not engaged in Crisis Management and problem solving I can be found lapsing into former activities such as music in all forms both playing and “behind the scenes” and have not ruled out the prospect of a return to the Recording Studio to polish up various unfinished songs and items. As a former musician (I guess being a musician never leaves you) and photographer, the client roster in the past consisted of the likes of Genesis, U2, The Moody Blues and Steve Hackett amongst others. On the promotional side of things clients consisted of most of the major UK Music Promoters ranging through to major Broadcasters such as Channel 4 and the BBC. As a working and recording musician I spent many a happy year working and touring round Europe, the UK and the USA. If anyone wishes to talk to me about Music and the Arts and appreciates a somewhat contrarian (some would say cynical, I'd say refreshingly honest) approach then get in touch and let's share a coffee. Buy me a beer and you’ve got yourself a deal. ;-)
