He has travelled the world in search of inspiration & waves. 

Along with his band, Mehdi Padidar, Alex Moody, Polo Olivier & Jay 'Sasuage' Shaughnessy he has gone on to build a growing fan-base with his emotional performances and songs inspired by Family and the landscapes and cities he's encountered during his journeys around the globe.

Lloyd's debut release "Bring Back the Life" received 10/10 and 4 star reviews, national airplay and critical acclaim from various DJ's, taste makers and music sites (Press).

"When I write it's a form of expression, a way to tell myself what's going on in my life.  But once that process is done, I like to believe they are not mine anymore and people can believe and do what they want with them.  I love music that travels, its a sign of passion and truth. Our style will be as progressive as our lives, and its the intention we hold that allows it to travel."
