He is best known as the on stage and studio keyboard player, but also has written various lyrics and composed instrumental tracks for the band and has numerous Human League album credits.
His association with the Human League started in 1986, where he was employed as a session musician for the Crash Tour of late 1986. He was then invited to work with the band further and joined the studio and stage team in 1990. He has worked continuously with the band ever since.
