Russell was born in Glasgow, Scotland in 1988 and moved to Devon in South West England in 1990 where he currently lives. Musically he draws influence from a broad range of styles and genres especially Blues and roots based artists. His own music although varied in sound and style has roots in The Blues which is obvious from his high-energy guitar driven live shows which are heavily Blues and Blues Rock. His repertoire is broad and he tends to have multiple projects running simultaneously in line with the diverse range of music he creates and is influenced by.
