About me
I was born 4 days after “The Day The Music Died” (according to Don McLean). I am a self-employed web marketer and music researcher.
In 1997 I was involved in the rediscovery of the world’s biggest cult musician, Rodriguez. I have a deep love for South Africa, its people and its music and was co-founder of the influential SA Rock Digest in 1999 with Stephen Segerman.
I have been involved in compiling various compilation CDs including: 'Disco Fever' (Gallo, 1999), McCully Workshop 'Greatest Hits' (2005), Abstract Truth 'Silver Trees & Totum' (FreshMusic, 2005), 'Astral Daze - South African Psychedelic Rock 1968-1972' (FreshMusic, February 2006) and various CDs in the Solid Gold Music series.
I have also written sleeve notes and artist biographies for a number of albums including releases by Abstract Truth, The Radio Rats, Jack Hammer and McCully Workshop. I have provided research information for the sleeve notes for CD releases from Rodriguez, Falling Mirror, John Kongos, the SA Top 40 Hits Of All-Time Volume 6 and a few others.
I have compiled Musical Family Trees (similar to Pete Frame) for Trevor Rabin, McCully Workshop, Third Eye, The Radio Rats, Steve Louw, Clout, Abstract Truth, Freedom's Children, Tidal Wave and others, some of which have been published in CD booklets.
Over the years, I have helped many South African musicians and music-related businesses establish a presence on the internet. I am a strong believer in web standards compliance, search engine optimization and social media marketing.
My current musical projects include Music Choice UK (I consult on 3 South African channels), RhythmMusicStore.com (I am the content editor) and SAMP3.com (I was co-founder in 2002). I founded the South African Rock Encyclopedia website in 1999 and I am still curator.
I have been web surfing since 1997 and back in those days there was no Google, Wikipedia, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, RhythmMusicStore.com or Broadband. It seems unbelievable to me now that there was even life before the Internet, as computers and the Net are such an integral part of my life, both for income generation and for relaxation.
