Early life: Carl was born in Brighton, UK on 7th June 1979 and has one sister. He grew up listening to music from the 60s, particularly that which was considered to be MOD music. This was due to his fathers influence and the Brighton music scene at the time. Carl first picked up the guitar at the age of 8, having his first real lesson at the age of 12 and teaching at the age of 14. His love of the blues came from hearing the John Mayal “Beano” album. Carl formed his first band at the age of 14 and he considers this the beginning of The Roadhouse Blues Band.

Later career: Carl spent 15 years on Spain’s Costa Del Sol where he worked as a resident singer guitarist in various venues either solo or in a band. Alongside this he continued to develop his skill in martial arts, specifically Ninjutsu, in which he is a highly accomplished teacher and bodyguard. To date he has black belts in six different styles with his highest rank being 5th Dan. After moving back to the UK, he became a firefighter while still working in music. He released an album with Manchester based blues/rock band Soul Saboteur in 2013. Carl talks openly about his struggles with depression and PTSD and this has influenced some of his writing. He is also an accomplished watercolour artist. Personal life: Carl has been married to Caroline since 2010. Their wedding took place at Bodidris Hall in Llangollen, Wrexham, Wales.
