About the Sex Drugs & HIV project
I started the Sex Drugs and HIV project in 1995 when I decided to record a charity album involving many of my friends and musicians that I'd met on the road. I had the idea to record an album with different musicians on each track, it originally was only meant to be 1 album but the project grew and more & more people wanted to get involved so it is now a double CD, 40 songs, 20 songs on each album which all join up together. The first recording session was 6th November 1995 and after 15 years, many record
Diagnosed with HIV in 1989, I wanted to bring awareness to the stigma surrounding HIV & AIDS and to what it was like being diagnosed with HIV as a teenage boy. The doctors had given me around 5 years to live when I was diagnosed so I really didn't think I had long to live when I started to record the big music project. I had a catalogue of songs that I'd written over the years with various styles and these became the template for the Sex Drugs and HIV album.
