All these Artistes were at one time or another No.1 in the charts selling millions of records.

More recently I was the featured drummer on the Apple Pay TV advert (2 years ago) Which happened to be one of the first TV adverts to feature a drummer. As a result of this I began Working with Pop Up Music where I have recorded over 30 Drum Tracks. Pop Up have had recent success with Quentin Tarantino's Latest Movie: Once Upon A Time In Hollywood amongst other things.
