Distinctly recognized for playing his self-written songs live by performing his electric guitar and rapping simultaneously whilst backed by a drummer, bassist and secondary guitarist, his live shows are notorious for leaving his audience simply amazed, ecstatic and scream for more.The 24 year olds genre crossing and infectious sound soon caught the aid of the L.A based manager Chris Allen (The Collective) who also manages Superstar acts such as Kanye West, Linkin Park, Slash and The All-American Rejects. As Random Impulse`s new manager alongside Julie Shama of Black Unicorn Music, Chris was eager to see the U.S`s Response to the artist and immediately flew him out to work at notable venues such as The Viper Room and The Roxy.The response was Phenomenal, which led to a long line of producers from both the U.K and U.S eager to study with the new artist, including Guy Chambers (Robbie Williams), Bleu McAuley (the Jonas Brothers, Selena Gomez), Semothy Jones (Little Boots, Professor green/Lily Allen) and Brian West (K`naan, Nelly Furtato) to make a few.
