hbaldwin's profile

Born in Leeds in 1962, he's a proud Yorkshireman!

Ever since the age of eight, when neighbours gave him a small guitar from their holiday in Spain, music has been in H's blood. They would be proud to know he still plays the guitar.

H was classically trained in the piano from the age of nine and the organ from the age of twelve (though that hasn't sent him blind).

From his mid to late teens he was part of a successful five-piece band playing pubs and working mens' clubs in the north of England; now that's a real hard apprenticeship!

Since then he has continued to play and write music in all kinds of environments and with all kinds of musicians all around the world.

His influences include Stevie Ray Vaughan, the Shadows, Santana, the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Oasis, Beethoven and Mozart (yes, you read it right), the Mavericks, Motown, much contemporary music and a whole range of eclectic musical styles. Just take a look at his CD collection and you'd see what that means!

In recent years he has been concentrating on writing and studio recording.

H has a remarkable ear (no, it's not stuck on) - he has the ability to listen to a piece of music and analyse it accurately without reference to the score, both in terms of key, chords and structure - quite remarkable really. Also, his keyboard playing is quite likely to get the hairs standing up on the back of your neck!
