Behind the Music: The Story of High Score and Its Signed CD Release

The Beginning
When we started work on High Score, the idea was pretty simple: I wanted to make the kind of album I’d always wished existed.
Not a “standard trumpet record.” Something bigger. More cinematic. The sort of music that gets your pulse racing, like when you hear a John Williams score for the first time—but with the trumpet taking centre stage.
I was lucky to pull in some of my favourite musicians and friends, and together we built something that felt exciting and fresh. Recording those sessions was honestly some of the most fun I’ve had in my career.
Why Signed Copies Now?
The album’s been around for years. You can stream it anywhere. You can buy the CD.
But I’ve had so many people ask: “Will you ever do signed copies?”
So, I finally sat down with a stack of them and signed a batch. It’s not a new pressing or a brand-new product—it’s the same CD that’s been out since release. But this time, signed by me.
If you’ve ever wanted one for your collection—or you’re after a gift that feels a bit more personal—this is for you.
Why It Means Something
Signing these took me right back to the sessions. It reminded me of why we made the record in the first place: to have fun, to play the kind of music we loved, and to make the trumpet sound epic.
And for me, the act of signing them makes it feel like more than just a CD on a shelf. It’s a small connection. A way of saying thanks to everyone who’s supported the music.

Final Word
This isn’t a big, glossy re-release. It’s just me, running a limited batch of signed copies of my first album.
If you’d like one—either for yourself, or as a gift for someone who loves music—grab it while they’re still around.
