A successful business owner since 1993, with over thirty years experience in Business Development, Management and Marketing of a variety of businesses, public and charity organisations and private clients in the US & the UK. I ran my own successful business in the US from 1993-2002. In the UK, I focussed on creative consulting and problem solving utilising a wide and multi-faceted knowledge of disparate sectors. Offering bespoke consulting services for managers, businesses, charities, artists, authors, musicians, yoga & mind/body/health professionals and entrepreneurs.
My Methods as a Creative Consultant.
Currently, I spend the majority of my time with my indie imprint label Sunn Creative. I play keyboards for the ESP
Project. I create and design the CDs releases, video and other promotional material. As the Owner and Managing Director of Sunn Creative, I am involved in the recording, promotion, and performance of independent music with a variety of collaborations. Since 2012 we have released numerous Progressive & Symphonic and Indie albums.
At the label I work with artists, contracts, and media – from social networking, to video production, photography, graphic design and marketing – running an imprint label requires diverse and intricate knowledge of man
y skills, including royalty compliance, contract law, public relations and artist management. Maintaining an ethos of unique and creative music collaborations we do not accept unsolicited material from artists. We have over 95 – 4-4.5 star reviews for our releases since 2012.
I’ve worked with: Tony Lowe producer/composer at Sunn Creative, (extensive credits), Peter Coyle (Lotus Eaters), Simon Townshend (The Who), Roger Daltrey (The Who), David Cross (King Crimson), David Jackson (Van der Graaf Generator), Phil Spalding (Elton John, Mick Jagger, Robbie Williams, Mike Oldfield, Toyah Wilcox, Seal, Steve Hackett, GTR) , Mark Brzezicki (Big Country, Phil Collins, Sting, Procol Harum, The Cult, Midge Ure), Alison Fleming, John Young (Lifesigns, Scor
pions, Asia), Mickey Simmonds (Mike Oldfield), Steve Gee (Landmarq, John Wetton, Pete Banks), Damien Child, Pete Clark, Greg Pringle (Pete Townshend, Roger Daltrey, Simon Townshend), Pat Orchard, Paul Simon (Thomas Dolby, Glen Matlock, Rusty Egan), Yumi Hara (Daevid Allen, Hugh Hopper), Chris Gray, Tony Bronsdon (Bram Stoker), Dave Etheridge, and many more. I have also photographed many of these musicians
for promotional purposes.
First forays into the world of music garnered us fourteen Grammy ballots on two different albums and over 95 – 4-4.5 out of 5 star reviews for our label releases from 2012 to 2023.
I am also an artist and writer with art on Instagram and Facebook with current writing on Substack at Dust in My Eye. I sell art on a private basis to individuals but for the most part am involved in the creation of art, not the marketing of it.
