Graham Lockyer is a singer/songwriter who prefers to write primarily for other artists. He is a keen student of crafting melody with lyric, who would love nothing more than to hear others perform his work. His early influences came from the music of Bob Dylan, James Taylor and Neil Young, and latterly from the classy sounds of Squeeze and Tom Petty.

For more than 20 years, he made the balance between holding down a full-time career in Business IT, whilst writing his own music in ever diminishing spare time.

During Summer 2004, Graham made a strong decision to quit his business life and enter the world of professional song writing ... full time. He also decided to leave the UK and set up a new home in Dol de Bretagne, France.

Six years on ... Graham admits to that 'career change' being possibly the best decision of his life! His studies of the great songwriters continue to hold his attention, and with enthusiasm maintained, he firmly believes his best writing is still to come.
