ABOUT
I live my life immersed in technology and helping and working with smart creative people.
I'm part nerd, drummer, investor, entrepreneur and spotter of talent.



As a boy, when not hanging around my Dad's Trident Studios and playing in bands, I started writing software on an Apple ][ and getting my Ham Radio licence.
I joined Orange before it became Orange.
In 1995 I set up Tableau with my Brothers and Father, a creative agency built on emerging design technologies and started writing HTML and building Websites.
In 1996 Tableau was commissioned by a start-up company called easyJet.
Our brief was to initially develop their creative campaigns, but I eventually convinced the Founder, Stelios Haji-Ioannou to develop a website.
"The Internet is for nerds, it will never make money for my business!" he stated to me. However, we had an advocate in the Marketing Director, Tony Anderson.
Our website went live in 1997 and in April 1998 became Europe's first transactional website for an airline. By 2001 our work was powering 90% of easyJet's bookings.
Following on we developed cutting-edge solutions for Tesco's, Dixon Store Group and Virgin.
In 1997 I started investing in and managing artists, including The Argonauts, Andrea Glass and Suburban Dirts
In 2002 I founded paythru the World’s first banking-grade mobile commerce platform. Global Clients included Jamie Oliver, Parkeon and Oltio PayD, a venture with Standard Bank and MTN.
After exiting paythru in 2013 I have focussed on launching two exciting new businesses.
Joined Up; an Insuretech business which to date has enabled almost £200m in client revenues for 24 Insurers.
And I’m empowering creatives around the world through Trackd; the World’s first Social Recording Studio in your pocket, which has artists from all over the world collaborating and creating great work together and SongBits, the Web3 platform that changes the connection between the artist and fans. Combining the familiarity of a simple web experience with the power of blockchain, fans can support artists and participate in their success.
I founded SongBits with multi award-winning and legendary producer Dave Stewart.
