He left England in 1989 for Australia where he oversaw the shipping and maintenance of thousands of instruments every year and built the customer service centre for Australasian Music Supplies wining the inaugural ‘Australian Customer service Centre of the Year’ award in 1998.
A year later he relocated to Japan where he was asked to promote and build relations between foreign labels and the Japanese market which led to the formation of The Asian Alliance which he owned and ran concurrently with his own label, TKO Records.
Since 2005 he has written for several magazines including beatleg and Shinko’s Mook books, has written English lyrics for Japanese Rock bands, voice coached Japanese singers and is a regular contributor to publications and broadcasters about the history of Rock and Pop music.
