He has lived most of his life in the Brighton area, but now resides in Montesa Spain.

He has played keyboards and guitar in pop/rock bands for over 20 years as well as producing and engineering for many bands and artists of all genres. He spent 10 years as a lecturer and course leader of music technology, teaching several subjects including sound design, music production and business from ND to degree level.

He has always had a fascination with the use of computers in the world of music production, starting in the 1980’s with a Sinclair spectrum linked to a Roland drum machine and Casio synth via midi. This interest combined with a love of song writing and music production resulted in some interesting music collaborations during the 1990’s.

Ian took a break from song writing during his time teaching due to time constraints but has now found the time to once again indulge in his passion of writing and producing.
