Artist picture
Electro pop with an edge
Established as a solo artist in 2000, this electro wizard from South Yorkshire, England uses entirely synthesizers and drum machines to create uplifting and accessible synth pop which makes the music both commercial and radio friendly. The music combines the classic sounds from the early 80’s synth pop scene with today’s current dance/synth scene to form a catchy, irresistible pop sound. Creating music since the age of 10, he has been in 2 groups during the 90’s both of which created synth pop and dance music and helped to develop his songwriting skills. His album entitled “Soul Searching” released in 2005 featured the No 1 hit single “Already There” on this very website!! In 2007 the album “Inner Peace” was released which featured twelve well crafted electronic pop songs. It continued to show his development as a songwriter and is probably his most upbeat and optimistic album yet. Written and recorded throughout most of 2006 this album brings together a collection of songs which offer catchy electro anthems mixed with moody melodic pop. The new album "Sunrise" is his third offering and features a stunning collection of songs and yet again a further progression in songwriting. The sound of the album offers brooding electronics combined with commercial electronic pop. With dark offerings such as "This Way" and "Fever" the album still has a positive and optimistic outlook. The recent explosion on the electronic pop scene was a total inspiration and reflects in the sound and change of direction. Welcome to the world of mOOger!

Story behind the song
A beautiful song which for me was perfect to close the album. This is a Nik Kershaw track I just had to cover. Lovely lyrics and melody. I was very pleased with the vocals and instrumentation I used on this.
Lyrics
You feel like you are A face in the crowd Just one of a million You should be so proud So happy to be A shape in the sand A drop in the ocean And a tourist in Wonderland Shed me a tear Blow me a kiss Show me some human stuff With a heart beat here A little bit of this A little bit of that We are all we are and You don’t have to be the Sun to shine on me You don’t have to be a Star to shine You don’t have to be the Sun to shine on me Just the miracle you are Enjoy yourself And I will be falling under your spell Ordinary and glad Must be the real thing being happy with that So happy to be A shape in the sand A drop in the ocean And a tourist in Wonderland Understand You don’t have to be the Sun to shine on me You don’t have to be a Star to shine You don’t have to be the Sun to shine on me Just the miracle you are Enjoy yourself And I will be falling under your spell So happy to be A face in the crowd Just one of a million I really should be so proud Shed me a tear Blow me a kiss Show me some human stuff With a heart beat here A little bit of this A little bit of that We are all we are and You don’t have to be the Sun to shine on me You don’t have to be a Star to shine You don’t have to be the Sun to shine on me Just the miracle you are
