Important steps
along the way:
- Having a music-loving father.
- Hearing "Pet Sounds" by Brian Wilson
- Meeting David MacIver and creating a 10-year song-writing partnership
- Making my first single at 17
- Meeting and working with the inspirational Simon Jeffes
- Re-meeting Roger Glover in 1969 who gave me my first album deal on
his own label "Purple Records" (Pick up a Bone). Roger insisting
I produce my second album on my own despite not having a clue what the
role of 'Producer' really entailed (but I guess over 100 albums later
proves him right).
- Meeting Trevor Morais thereby forming Quantum Jump and later creating
Farmyard Studios
- Meeting Jeannette-Therese Obstoj thus beginning an astonishingly prolific
song-writing run of 15 years
- Producing Cafe Jacques "Round the Back"
- Meeting and being managed by Geoff Jukes
- Re-meeting Stephen W. Tayler in 1979 / 80 and us jointly re-inventing
ourselves for "Immunity" and another 50 albums!
- Producing "Reach the Beach" by The Fixx
- Producing and writing for Tina Turner's "Private Dancer"
- Having a son, Kingsley who has shown me so much
- Producing and jointly creating "One World, One Voice"
- Producing Duncan Sheik's album "Duncan Sheik"
- Meeting Tim Catinat who has created such a glorius web-site for me
out of love and passion (with tremendous help from Michael Roden).
