Damn… RIP James Gadson. The influence this man has had on my drumming is significant. I had the pleasure of being in a Zoom meeting with him back in 2021 (thanks @russgleason !) and I was hoping we could meet this summer. Maybe another time. ✌️
My cheeks hurt today from smiling so much. What a feeling when you can say some of your heroes are your friends.

6: a track I co-wrote surpassing 3 million streams after being synced to a Chinese Drama

Some exciting things starting to happen for Mamas Gun. New single ‘Food For The Flames’ out today.

Had the absolute pleasure of hanging out with Stewart & Adam @extinctaudio@xaudiamics today in York. I’ve been buying and asking these guys to service my microphones for the last 6years or so. Stewart is the foremost expert on ribbon microphones in the UK and they’re creating just the most phenomenal products. What a great atmosphere to be around such a creative and technical space. Thanks guys, see you next time!

Happy to be home to my family but still feeling high from a great week at @ata_records with @mamasgun_uk
Recording is one of my favourite things. I love tinkering with the gear, finding good sounds and hearing songs glue together. The console and 2” tape at ATA sure did sound sweet… Excited for new music to come out!
