I grew up tremendously inspired by the first British invasion and came of age with the second one – punk and new wave. I started writing songs the day after I first heard The Beatles and they still keep coming to me. I’ve mostly played in originals-only bands. Highlights of my musical career include playing in St Paul’s first pop-punk band, Smart Alex (1978-81) where our only recording, “Chitter Chat” b/w “Tonight”, became a collector’s item:

In Swing Set (1983-93), I wrote a song placed on the Stranger Things series “Blackout”:

Afterwards, living in Modena, Italy (1997-2003), I played and wrote in a bues-rock band. Currently, (2007-today), besides home recording, I play in The Badinovs (a take on the cartoon character's name), and recently, in a Beatles tribute band, The Nowhere Men.
