I have been involved in music from the age of nine in which I participated in plays and musicals. I have also worked at Butlins in Minehead where I entertained the guests by singing and dancing,
I come from a musical background and was encouraged to pursue a career in music by my mother who was a professional singer.
My main inspiration is Elvis Presley in which I have recorded a CD of his music. I am not planning to be like Elvis and am currently working with my songwriter Cameron J. Ingram to record his new original songs including ballads, and uptempo songs.I have also managed a group of children and staged several musical shows including a version of "Grease" ,'Stars in Their Eyes" and "Summer Holiday". They also practised a song called "My Saviour" which my songwriter wrote, and were in the process of recording it onto CD. Go to www.myspace.com/aoc9jon to see charity work I have been involved with.
I was interviewed on the BBC Radio Cleveland Neil Green show. Who played a selection of my first CD. Plus an acoustic number with my guitarist Vic Paylor.
I am working with my band and songwriter Cameron Ingram to complete our album called "Soul Searching" .We have so far recorded our firstlove song called "The Day You Walked Into My Life" which is suitable for Valentines Day, love song compilation albums and weddings, and have started recording our second up-tempo song called "Soul Searching". The song called "The Day You Walked into My Life" was written by my songwriter CameronIngram, which was recorded by The Guild of International Songwriters and Composers and which I am going to record to complete our album. I am currently pursuing a record contract so that our CD can be released, andenjoyed by the general public. If you like our music I would be happy to meet you at your convenience,
