“My two main obsessions growing up were music and computers, with my first sequencer being MIDItrack Performer on a BBC B computer. I was making demos in my teens as well as being in a band at school, The K-Creative who signed to Gilles Peterson’s Talkin’, I started writing with artists, making jingles, and playing at sessions.

I have played keyboards with Galliano, Raw Stylus, Two Banks of Four, and Kylie Minogue, remixed 50+ tracks, and worked at Xenomania. I now release on my own label, Primaudial Records, continue writing and producing with Incognito, Dave Lee, Duke Dumont and Valerie Etienne, and have an ambient electronic project, Ayota.”
