Born on the out skirts of London England on July 1st Garry grew up listening to and playing many styles of music.
Garry developed a very high standard of professionalism in his playing, attitude towards fellow musicians, the business and the companies that now endorse him. As a player Garry easily fits himself into any band and touring situation contributing not just drums but ideas and input essential to success in the industry on any level.
He has been fortunate to have had the opportunity to travel the world, work for and be associated with a number of major artists and companies including guitar legend Jeff Beck, ,Joe Lynn Turner (Rainbow, Deep Purple) Grammy nominated producer Rick Hale and Grammy winning producer Tom Bee, plus teach and mentor students and other musicians
His drumming focus - is on pure groove and the song itself, and is well versed in a full range of styles from Heavy Rock/Metal, Contemporary/chart pop to Fusion and has the advantage of a strong backing vocal voice.
Working with Britain's Musician's Union - Garry organized, arranged and promoted clinics throughout the South East of England using music from a then current project "Temple Myst", promoting reliability, character, musical techniques and the importance of professionalism in the music industry, in fact any industry!
USA - After an introduction to Warner Brothers VP Bob Saporiti in Nashville and relocating to the United States in 2000 he developed the ‘MIC Program', motivating middle and high school students with the concepts of "Making it Count" through the medium of television and entertainment.
He also continued to work with artists, musicians and companies including Grammy Nominated Producer/writer Rick Hale, Native American Juno Award winning artist Chester Night and Grammy Director/Award winner and Producer Tom Bee “Sound of America Records”
Europe - In 2006 he based himself back in Europe working on bringing the MIC Program to a higher level and continued to tour, record and work with artists and companies around the world.
Garnoe Production - In 2007 Garry developed the music industry end of Garnoe Creative Group with Bassist Andy Robbins creating production and tour recourses for other artists and companies including stage design, transport, sound and light and musicians for projects.
In 2009, ‘Garnoe Creative Group' produced Joe Lynn Turner's (Deep Purple, Rainbow, Yngwie Malmsteen) Latin American “High Gear" tour, followed by "The Blood Red Sky Tour" in 2010. Garry played throughout both tours which played 20 shows in major cities and recorded sessions with Joe Lynn Turner and the band at C4 Estudios in Sao Paulo, Brazil and a full production video for the track "Blood Red Sky"
Recording - Garry also runs Online Session Musician with Grammy nominated producer Rick Hale which gives writers, recording musicians and producers an opportunity via the internet to have their tracks and projects complimented by a very select group of international musicians without the usual high costs incurred in a regular studio situation. The project and client list is building international day by day.
Motivation Events – A major part of his roster is the Freedom to Achieve Program. Originally bannered as ‘Creative drum Clinics' Freedom to Achieve ' Making it Count ' workshops are a successful way of inspiring and explaining important life fundamentals to impressionable people - particularly youngsters - through a medium they understand - music and entertainment. Our shows have already aired to over 12,000 students and members of the public over a period of only a year, in countries such as the USA, Brazil and parts of Europe
