I knew I had finally made it as a respectable songwriter when I was quoted in the Daily Sport (John Cleese and the First Eleven, 'Don't Mention the World Cup' 2006).I produced numerous audio-visual experiences, environments and objects at art school and afterwards.Co-wrote with up-and-coming electro pop band Habit, helping them secure major record deal with Virgin Records. Went on to write and produce songs with many other artists and bands, composing soundtracks for theatre, art performance and commercial videos.First release: Save the Planet - The Believers, 1987First released productions:Audio Nasty cassette - 1984Lift Off - single - Nagamatzu, 1986 Current:http://cinema-du-lyon.euhttp://youtu.be/oJ3PM2oOL8kCinema du Lyon - The Particle Zoohttps://music.apple.com/us/album/the-particle-zoo/2689525442006 - "Don't Mention the World Cup" - John Cleese and the First Eleven, (co-wrote song with Ashley Slater, produced song and video) - loads of press, TV and radio, featured in documentaries etc. - did reasonably against much competition thanks to UK Forces Radio, but more importantly rejuvenated Cleese's standing in the UK's affections via the press campaign. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tg5tpMm_ruc&t=1sBiggest hits:Survival Game - It's 5 to 12, 1995 - top ten in 3 countries, platinum in Chilehttp://youtu.be/aO3Fu2OqPmkLucy - Habit, 1987 - top 30 UK and across Europehttp://youtu.be/w17gNilLqxw Show less
