Born in the United Kingdom in the early '70s, my life has been shaped by 2 things so far: Travelling and music. I see myself as a European, and not necessarily British, as I have lived in the UK, Spain, Germany & Denmark as well as a 6 month period in the United States. As such, I find it easy to settle and rarely experience "home sickness".

The other constant, music, has been with me since I can remember. Listening to my parents tapes and vinyl was a good start, until I finally developed my own taste. Since then I haven't looked back, and for the past 6 years I have been running an online music store (for a small and generally unknown genre) in my spare time. The idea was born due to the lack of shops distributing the music I wanted, and instead of importing single CDs for myself, I started importing more, and selling them on. Since then, my shop has managed to create a good name for itself in germany, at least amongst music fans with a similar taste.
