Lord Jangle is a singer, actor and composer. Lord Jangle's music is similar to Queen, ELO, Pink Floyd, the Kinks and the late Beatles. Like his influences, he does not remain rigidly in one style or genre.
“They say you can't do that!” Lord Jangle jokes, “but the top bands of all time were actually multi genre - and that was their secret. I have always loved rock, classical, jazz, folk and pop. Why would I pick just one of these styles to play? It seriously limits what you can do musically."

Lord Jangle has lived for about ten years in many far-off lands. He spent two years in Africa in the hot deserts of Sudan, after which he lived in Ukraine, the Tatarstan region of Russia, the USA, Southeast Asia and Uzbekistan. He is a writer, adventurer and electronics inventor. He has written a concerto, various classical pieces and 300+ songs. He has a degree in Music, Grade 8 classical guitar and a full three-octave vocal range (bass G up to top G soprano). All this is TRUE!!
Songs like they used to write
Some people say music has lost its way. Maybe it is time to go Back in time. Predictable
chords and melodies do not satisfy everyone. Listen to "Dinosaur," a song with fifteen
chords and Beach Boys-style harmonies. What you will hear are some unexpected shifts. The element of surprise maintains listener attention and is more cerebral. There are also Baroque influences - or what Lord Jangle calls Baroque 'n roll. This unusual development can be heard on several songs, namely Holy Moses, Walk in the Rays of the Sun, Baby Red and Dad Superman. These are not borrowed ideas but newly-composed Baroque melodies.
