He lives a nomadic lifestyle on his narrowboat, enforced by his boat's 'continuous cruising' licence, and driven by his love of exploring.

His 'choons' provide the soundtrack to his YouTube vlogs about exploring and living on the UK's canal network and appear throughout the BBC television series Canal Boat Diaries.

"Living on a boat with a continuous cruiser licence means I must keep moving. The BBC contracted me to self-shoot a TV series for them. But the fact that my music has played in millions of homes across the country without a label is mind blowing. I don't really know how this has all happened but I'm so proud - I used to work at HMV in the stockroom, putting stickers on CDs and to think I'll now have my own... it's a dream come true".
