About

I was born in Chuquicamata, Chile, South America 3000 meters up the Andes in the Atacama desert, The largest open Gold and Copper mine on Earth. The town was noted for its bars and bordellos, but due to continued expansion of the mine, it is now located somewhere in mid air, in the Sky. Which in many ways sums up my life. No way back home.



I was one of the last free children, raised in the 60's Roaming from dawn to dusk, the seashores, lakes and fields of England, Canada and Bermuda. At nine I was sent to Dickensian boarding school to get the 'Best Education money can buy.' So good, it illuminated the falsehood at its heart. So bad it abused my human rights as a child. Like Icarus I refused to be enslaved to the rules. I was a Poet and Musician in search of adventure.



At fifteen I ran away to join the 'Piccadilly Circus' A Rabelasian meltdown of drugs, sex and sin
