I have been writing songs since my early teens, inspired by everyone from The Beatles, the Stones and Jimi Hendrix, through  Donovan and Bob Dylan, to  artists like John Martyn, Kate Bush and Peter Gabriel. I have played guitar in various covers bands, including Cambridgeshire band The Moses Carter Band, and now CB SOUL. I have always kept my own music to myself, playing only for my family and close friends. 
In 2018 I joined Red Velvet, a Cambridge based folk-rock band, playing bass guitar and mandolin with them. When discussing their next album, they invited me to play some of my original songs to them, and they recorded two of my songs on their EP "If Hawks Were Doves" and then released my song "Gone to France" as a single. This boosted my confidence and encouraged me to work on my back catalogue and write new songs. Further encouraged by my son Ben Udin, who plays drums in the band Good Health, we set about recording several of my songs which will become an EP in late 2025.
