MUSIC
Cleve has toured professionally and shared the stage with so many of his heroes & mentors ( see resume ). Playing original music with minor success having had 1 radio / commercial song by Rockets to Ruin living a dream ( not always what you think) though the band was together a few years it was short lived, continuing to make music, both acoustic, rock and getting placements into tv/film from my music catalogue. Proud to be a member of the Recording Academy. My music experiences have taken me to so many places and allowed me and incredible journey, meeting amazing people, and to create music with the band and see it come to life in front of audiences is the best feeling in the world
