Julian Sumner

I've been tinkering with keyboards and guitars since before my teens and did receive some formal musical training. Growing up during the mid to late 1970s, my first song-writing efforts were influenced by the prevailing New Wave and power pop bands dominating the UK album and singles charts. My older brother's extensive collection of American West Coast albums expanded my musical interests, somewhat.

Never fully comfortable in front of an audience, I chose not to pursue live gigging.

My interest in composition and audio recording techniques - initially with open reel four track tape recorders and, more recently with digital multi-track technology - led me to focus on producing my own songs. I use whatever gear and instruments I have to hand at the time.

I've no claims to be a singer and it's always been my intention that these songs be recorded or performed by artists with that special talent. I'd love to hear these songs sung in tune!
