'Not the Northgate'
Unsigned Solo artist, based in Bristol, UK


My primary creative interest is writing, performing and producing my own material - it allows me a space to articulate elements of my life, beliefs and concerns in a positive way - this includes the environment, conflict, life's ups and downs, all of which is not unique to my life, but probably yours too. The Scales represent the imbalance I that perceive in many corners of our society.
I would describe my music genre as Folk Rock .... but what do you think?
My first EP Album 'Smells Like Paradise; can be streamed from all major platforms - everything you hear is performed by me, written and produced by me.
