Musician, Producer, Songwriter, Entertainer, Developer, Aviator.

I work in varying areas of music, production, entertainment and management and have played guitar and many other musical instruments since I was 7 years old. I am completely self taught and have an excellent musical ear. I began recording aged 13 and have worked professionally on stage since the age of 16. As a singer, presenter, host, DJ, MC – You name it.

The production company Digital 96 was founded in 2010. We are making headway in the music, sound and video markets. Song-writing and production are the priority at this time.

I am the developer of the popular Multi Export Audio Pro (MEAP) windows application, for use with Steinberg audio software products, that enables you to export tracks (stems) one at a time, unattended.

I teach guitar, bass and pretty much any other musical device, at various schools around my home town and from my company AxeSkillz of Leeds, UK.

Production and remix team Riffs & Rays have been responsible for producing dance orientated chart hits since 2003.

I love travelling and I love learning. I was lucky enough to live and work in Dubai, UAE for 15 years. Dubai is a great hub to other parts of far east and enabled me to visit many distant parts of the world. Something I still like to do when time permits.

I fly light aircraft. An interesting and taxing hobby. I am a flying member of Sherburn Aero Club and am hoping to gain my PPL (Private Pilot’s License) by  2011. Much of this depends on the weather here in England which is unreliable to say the least.

I write songs and lyrics, music for film, TV and adverts, develop and test software and keep as active as possible in the field of IT. Including Blogging, Tweeting and web design. I also develop free software as much as possible. I find that coding these windows applications is very therapeutic and a welcome distraction from the music business.

I perform live every weekend under the alias of Phil Alan. Sadly only using backing tracks at the moment. I do really miss the old live band days but I do all the backing myself, which I understand is quite rare these days.

My company musiClone is responsible for re-creations of various well-known pieces of music for use in cover versions and adverts. You wouldn’t know the music was a re-creation because it is virtually indistinguishable from the original, (unless required).

I hope you enjoy having a little browse around my area of the world-wide web.

Thanks for dropping by.
