Ft. Captain Backfire
I’ve been doing some features recently.
I played some guitar for my home boy Marvin Live for his Ill Acoustic at the I Luv Live offices and I helped out with a hook for Tabanacle and a few of the guys from Black Triangle with Tommy C over at Sticky Studios.

Yo!
It’s been a crazy few months since Exhibit A was released.
There has been some very nice blog coverage from Niji Magazine, Trending Fn, Alfitude, Buzzin Unlimited and Smash Pipe.
I took the band up to CH1 bar in Chester to support Little Nikki and Mikill Pane and now I’ve got loads more London gigs lined up for my hometown people.
Me and my band, The Ruse, are playing the following dates.
Look forward to seeing you there.
