Producer, artist, songwriter and drummer, born 3 March 1954 in London. His career started in the late 1970s by producing Dalek I's "Compass Kum'pas". This led to joining Adam And The Ants both as drummer and producer in 1980 under the alias Merrick and left them in 1982. From then he concentrated on producing.
