Hey everyone! Hope you're enjoying the summer, wherever you are. Pleased to report that I've just come back from Nashville where I've been back in the Studio at Gray Matters, recording the final couple of tunes for the new album and adding a few finishing touches to the ones we've already got... There's going to be another single and a brand new video released from the album in October.

In the meantime I've also got a UK tour coming up... dates to be released soon! Can't wait to get back on the road... watch this space!

Here's a little taster of the video, hope you enjoy!

⚡ LIGHTNING STRIKES ⚡ THUNDERCLAP ⚡ 
Last week, myself and 15 cast & crew from Intraspectrum Studios spent two nights filming a spooky as hell music video in an abandoned house just outside of London. It's now being edited into what will be the video for my new single "Lightning Strikes", (Out November 9th) 

It's going to be released entirely DIY through my YouTube Channel later this month, but to help it reach as many people as we can we're teaming up with Thunderclap... it's a bit like Kickstarter but it doesn't involve any money. All you do is click one of the links to support the campaign through Facebook, Twitter or Tumblr, and when the video goes live it will automatically share through your social feed. This helps the video reach a much wider audience than it otherwise would. 

This is my first real music video, I've been unbelievably lucky to work with such an incredible filmmaker… it's a bit of a game-changer for me. I don't have PR or a record label helping me promote it, so if you'd lend me your support, it would mean the world!
